It’s 25 Days of Draftmas on Arrowhead Pride, where we’ll be giving you a Kansas City Chiefs draft prospect every day in April leading up to the NFL Draft. You’ll get a daily prospect profile like this one right up until Draft Day.Erik McCoy, centerJim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports6’4” | 303 lbs | Texas A&MProjected draft range: second roundI would take him in the: second roundOne-sentence bio: Started as a redshirt freshman and didn’t look back, as he started every one of his 38 collegiate games in his career. One-sentence scouting report: Quick, athletic Juan Thornhill Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , easy moving interior offensive lineman with a wealth of experience.One play:How he fits in KC: You all probably know by now I would prefer to wait until after round one to select an interior offensive lineman. If the Chiefs kick off their draft with Garrett Bradbury, it would be underwhelming (although he is a very good player). If the Chiefs are intent on adding a center for Patrick Mahomes to grow with, Erik McCoy would be good value in the second or third round. McCoy was often asked to reach difficult alignments from defensive lineman and did it with ease. He is quick off the ball, shows excellent hip fluidity, has great feet and is a good blocker in space. McCoy is smart and experienced Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , starting since his redshirt freshman year. He can struggle with power at times, and he’ll need to improve his hands at the next level. The Chiefs typically like their lineman able to move well, and McCoy certainly possesses that ability. Over time, he could do some or all of the things asked of Mitch Morse during his tenure in Kansas City. McCoy would thrive in the zone scheme the Chiefs use and would give Mahomes a steady presence in the middle of the offensive line for years to come. If the Chiefs are intent on bolstering the offensive line, McCoy makes a ton of sense in the day two range. Want to read more player profiles from Arrowhead Pride’s 25 Days of Draftmas?

Pioli spoke to the 2019 class of his alma mater on Saturday"When I’m not writing or editing articles that grace these pages, I’m an audio engineer.In 40-some years in that business — along with the ones I’ve heard as a friend or relative attending a ceremony — I’ve heard well over 100 commencement addresses.Some of them are brilliant and inspiring.Some of them are thought-provoking.Some are hilarious.But I’ve never heard one where the speaker told about the time they witnessed a suicide.Such was the case at Central Connecticut State University on Saturday Juan Thornhill black jersey , when 1988 CCSU graduate (and former Kansas City Chiefs general manager) Scott Pioli delivered the commencement address to 2019’s graduating class.Two days earlier, Pioli had stepped down as assistant general manager of the Atlanta Falcons — a position he had taken a year after being fired in Kansas City.Pioli’s speech gave a frank account of the events of December 1, 2012 — the day that Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, drove to the team’s practice facility and killed himself in the parking lot in front of Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and linebackers coach Gary Gibbs.Pioli told the story of that day — and his time with the Chiefs — to support one of the three pieces of advice he wanted to impart to the new CCSU graduates: Be resilient.Then Pioli paused for a full eight seconds.You can watch the full speech on YouTube by clicking here.
