Less than a month after firing veteran general manager John Dorsey, Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and head coach Andy Reid made the decision to replace him with the in-house promotion of young personnel exec Brett Veach on July 10, 2017. Thus, making him the seventh general manager in team history and the youngest person to hold the title in the NFL at the time (and still today, at the age of 41).
Since that time, Veach, a former scout and personnel analyst, has quickly ascended the power rankings of general managers, having created a Super Bowl Championship roster and put Kansas City in a position to be the next great dynasty in the NFL.
