The Kansas City Chiefs are poised for another Super Bowl run, and it looks like they might have found the final piece to their championship puzzle. With head coach Andy Reid at the helm and star players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce leading the charge, a new rookie could be the key to keeping the dynasty alive. That rookie is the offensive tackle Josh Simmons, who is already generating serious buzz.

On the New Heights podcast, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made a statement that raised eyebrows across the NFL. “I don’t think we’re going to have to wait and see. I think it’s signed, sealed and delivered. This guy is going to be a Hall of Famer. Something tells me he’s already there,” Kelce said, referring to Simmons’ future in Kansas City. For a Chiefs team that has already dominated the league with Mahomes under center, adding a player like Simmons could be the final touch to their Super Bowl hopes.

After the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles and the departure of Joe Thuney, the Chiefs knew they had to fortify their offensive line to keep Mahomes protected. Enter Josh Simmons, selected by Kansas City with the No. 32 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Simmons, known for his size and athleticism, was once considered the best offensive tackle in the draft before a knee injury derailed his final season at Ohio State. But with his potential on full display, the Chiefs took a calculated risk on the talented tackle.

A risk worth taking for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid

If Simmons can recover fully from his injury, he has the potential to be a game-changer for the Chiefs. His ability to protect Mahomes and strengthen the offensive line could ensure the Chiefs remain contenders for years to come. With Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid already leading the charge, Simmons could be the final piece of the puzzle to keep the Chiefs' dynasty alive.
