Ben Grubbs' Veteran Presence Helping Chiefs Young OL

There are only two offensive linemen on the Kansas City City Chiefs roster who are older than 26 years old, and they would be Paul Fanaika (29) and Ben Grubbs (31).

The Chiefs traded with the New Orleans Saints this past offseason for Grubbs, and in turn, shored up the left guard position with a guy who has twice been named to the Pro Bowl.

According to Pro Football Focus’ grading system, Grubbs has earned positive grades in each of the Chiefs three preseason games.

While Grubbs has the talent and résumé to command respect from a young offensive line room, his initial goals weren’t about setting the example for these younger players through his words, but through his actions.
