As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for Thursday’s 2025 NFL Draft, the team’s All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie took a moment to reflect on his experience in the 2022 draft, when the Chiefs selected him with the 21st pick of the first round.
Surrounded by his family in a rented hotel suite, McDuffie had planned to take in the draft’s first night as a spectator, rather than as a participant.
“To be honest, I did not think I was going [in the] first round,” McDuffie told reporters as Kansas City’s offseason program began on Monday.
