The Kansas City Chiefs’ 2023 season ended with another Super Bowl victory that required significant contributions from many first and second-year players.
One young player who didn’t make many waves was rookie defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah.
The former first-round pick from Lee’s Summit, Missouri (by way of Kansas State) had a quiet first season. This was not a surprise. The team knew Anudike-Uzomah might need some time to grow — and that a solid group of edge defenders would be available in 2023. The presence of defensive ends George Karlaftis, Charles Omenihu and Mike Danna — and on passing downs, defensive tackle Chris Jones — made it hard for Anudike-Uzomah to find the field consistently.
