The Kansas City Chiefs, led by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are gearing up for the upcoming NFL season with the goal of securing an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship.
Despite not boasting the most stacked roster in the league, the Chiefs possess Mahomes, widely regarded as the best quarterback in the world, along with tight end extraordinaire Travis Kelce.
However, with Kelce approaching the age of 34, the Chiefs are beginning to consider options for his eventual successor.
Enter Ben Sinnott, a promising tight end prospect hailing from Kansas State University. Reports indicate that Sinnott has met with the Chiefs, signaling potential interest from both parties.

Originally from Iowa, Sinnott showcased his skills on the field last season with impressive statistics, tallying 49 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns.
Notably, his versatility extends beyond the tight end position, as he is also capable of playing as a fullback, demonstrating commendable blocking abilities despite his relative lack of mobility.
Projections suggest that Sinnott may be selected during the later rounds of the upcoming NFL draft, likely on the third day of proceedings. While there were murmurs of retirement surrounding Kelce following the Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl victory, he has decided to postpone any such plans in order to aid his team’s pursuit of an unprecedented three-peat.
With stalwarts like Kelce, star pass rusher Chris Jones, and dynamic running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire all returning to the fold, Kansas City remains the frontrunner in the AFC.
Despite formidable competition within the conference, the Kansas City Chiefs’ returning core positions them as strong contenders for yet another successful campaign. Patrick Mahomes would certainly have no issues with the Chiefs adding more weapons for him to work with.
