The Kansas City Chiefs hosted 51 players on a tryout basis at their rookie minicamp back in May.
Only a handful of those players earned an opportunity to join the 90-man offseason roster in Kansas City. Some have since gone on to try out and join other NFL teams. Others will try to take a non-traditional route to the NFL, joining a spring football league to prove themselves.
The XFL hosted their 2023 rookie draft on Friday, June 16 and several of the players selected were at the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp just a month ago. One player was even recently released from their 90-man roster.
Here’s a quick look at those players and which XFL teams draft them:
