Eric Kush has continued to go about his business this offseason, even when he was suddenly thrust into contention to be the Chiefs’ starting center when last year’s starter, Rodney Hudson, bolted for Oakland during free agency.
“I talked to him and everything, and I was excited for him,” Kush said. “He’s going to have a great career. I’m excited for him.”
Kush, who is listed at 6 feet 4 and 313 pounds, should be excited for himself. Hudson’s departure leaves the 2013 sixth-round pick as the only center on the roster, and he says he learned plenty under Hudson the last two seasons.
