The Kansas City Chiefs appear to have their eyes on one of the top athletes at the offensive tackle position in the 2023 NFL draft class.
According to KPRC2 NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs were among the teams to meet with Louisville OT Trevor Reid either at his pro day or the East-West Shrine Bowl. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 311 pounds (up 14 pounds from the All-Star game), Reid posted a workout at his pro day that would have reached several top marks at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. He posted a 4.90s 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-4 broad jump and 25 repetitions of 225 on the bench press.

Reid started just 25 games for the Cardinals during the course of his career, with the vast majority of his snaps coming at left tackle. He is coming off of a season where he allowed just 13 pressures, but three of those pressures were sacks on the quarterback. He’s traditionally been a better pass blocker than a run blocker, but he moves quite well in space.
Reid clearly has a lot of the tools and athletic skills necessary for success at the NFL level, but he’s got some work to do in order to ensure that success. A team like Kansas City would likely view him as competition at the right tackle position for Lucas Niang with the potential to develop into a starter or swing tackle.
