One of the big questions this offseason was at the inside linebacker position. Many fans were worried about not only who is going to be Derrick Johnson’s successor, but who will play alongside him in 2017.
While the Chiefs drafted an inside linebacker in the fifth round of the draft, Ukeme Eligwe, many fans were hoping they would draft someone much higher. The Chiefs have struggled to find a solid solution next to Johnson for a few years now. Not to mention with Johnson’s injury toward the end of last season, many were panicking about his return.
Since Brett Veach took over the GM spot, he has made it a point to take action in adding depth to the inside linebacker position.
