Chiefs have slate of visits lined up with college basketball players, including K-State’s D.J. Johnson

Chiefs general manager John Dorsey has been known to look for talented prospects in unorthodox places, and this year, apparently, is no different.

The Chiefs will be bringing in three college basketball players for pre-Draft visits — Virginia Commonwealth’s Mo Alie-Cox, Kansas State’s D.J. Johnson and Texas Wesleyan’s Najeal Young — a source with knowledge of the visits told The Star.

Johnson was listed at 6 feet 9 and 237 pounds at Kansas State this past season, when he averaged 11.3 points and 5.7 rebounds as a starter for the Wildcats. The Bears have already shown interest in him, setting up a pre-Draft tryout (according to The Star’s Kellis Robinett) to investigate his ceiling as a tight end.
