## Resource

Undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson is set to make his NFL debut starting at left tackle for the Chiefs, stepping in for injured Josh Simmons and protecting Patrick Mahomes as he returns from ACL surgery. This marks the first time an undrafted rookie has started on the offensive line for Andy Reid’s team — a huge moment for Benson, who spent four years at Indiana, transferred briefly to Colorado, and was signed after impressing at rookie minicamp. Though originally penciled in at right tackle, Benson now faces a massive challenge on the blindside, with teammates praising his relentless work ethic and hunger to succeed. All eyes are on him as he takes on one of the league’s most critical roles in his first start. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
