The Kansas City Chiefs selected LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the No. 32 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft — the final pick of Round 1.
While some have criticized taking a running back in Round 1, Chiefs star TE Travis Kelce is on board with the pick and offered his support to the former LSU star.
During a recent appearance on FOX Football Now, Kelce said he can’t wait to see what Edwards-Helaire adds to the offense (via 247Sports):
“I mean, just bringing another weapon to the table, honestly,” Kelce said. “And I know one thing about the Kansas City Chiefs organization — (head) coach (Andy) Reid, (team owner) Mr. (Lamar) Hunt, you go down the line — what they do is they grab good character guys to bring into the facility, to bring into the building, to make coming into work fun, to try and weed out the guys that may be in it for other reasons or whatever they’ve got going on.
“Most of the guys that are coming into this office love to play football and love to learn and get better at football, and that’s what you can appreciate about the Kansas City Chiefs — they’re always going to bring in hard workers and people that’ll give you fuel in life instead of draining you all the time.”
The Chiefs are coming off a Super Bowl victory. Can Edwards-Helaire help them win another one in 2020?
