Shortly after the 2018 NFL Draft concluded, the Kansas City Chiefs extended several contracts to undrafted free agents as well as tryouts to rookie minicamp in an effort to further their search for young talent. Among the prospects was the lone quarterback prospect among players drafted or invited or signed: Chase Litton, the former starting quarterback for Marshall.
Litton stood out among the names not only because he was a quarterback but because the Chiefs also seem like a ripe spot for such a prospect to stick. The Chiefs lacked a developmental option on the roster before Litton’s arrival, given the fact that Patrick Mahomes is now the starter from Week 1, and the choices behind Mahomes also have a very clear ceiling.
