Five Things to Know About New Quarterbacks Coach Mike Kafka

The Kansas City Chiefs promoted former Offensive Quality Control Coach Mike Kafka to Quarterbacks Coach on Monday afternoon.

Here’s five things to know about the Chiefs’ assistant.

1. Kafka is entering his second year on the Chiefs' coaching staff

The Chiefs hired Kafka last February as an Offensive Quality Control Coach, which is essentially an entry-level coaching position tasked with compiling information on upcoming opponents.

Before joining the Chiefs, Kafka worked as an offensive graduate assistant at Northwestern University, his alma mater, for the 2016 season. He focused on wide receivers while in that role, helping receiver Austin Carr lead the Big 10 in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns and finish the year as a Biletnikoff Award finalist.
