The Chiefs have filled the hole vacated by the loss of assistant special-teams coach Brock Olivo to the Denver Broncos. Rod Wilson has been tabbed as Olivo’s replacement, a source told The Star on Tuesday.
Wilson, 35, is a former seventh-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2005 who spent six seasons in the NFL, recording a total of 47 tackles with the Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He was a member of the 2006 Bears team that reached the Super Bowl, thanks in large part to the dynamic special-teams unit of coach Dave Toub, who now coaches the Chiefs’ special teams.
