Chiefs Sign Three Draft Picks

The Chiefs announced their 12-man contingent of UDFAs on Saturday and have reached agreements with three of their six draft picks — each joining the team as a Day 3 selection.

Kansas City signed fourth-round wide receiver Jehu Chesson (Michigan), fifth-round linebacker Ukime Eligwe (Georgia Southern) and sixth-round safety Leon McQuay III (USC), Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.

This leaves only the team’s top three selections — first-round quarterback Patrick Mahomes, second-round edge defender Tanoh Kpassagnon and third-round running back Kareem Hunt — as unsigned rookies as the team conducts its rookie minicamp, which began this weekend and housed 69 tryout candidates.
