How Chiefs' Kahlil Benson went from undrafted rookie to starting LT protecting Patrick Mahomes' blindside

The Kansas City Chiefs opened their season with two straight victories, though general manager Brett Veach had to adjust plans along the offensive line. Undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson unexpectedly stepped into the starting left tackle role to guard Patrick Mahomes, a position originally earmarked for Josh Simmons.

Benson previously played college football at Indiana and Colorado, gaining experience under coaches Tom Allen, Deion Sanders, and Curt Cignetti before reaching the NFL.
