The Kansas City Chiefs may have wrapped up their time on the NFL Draft clock on Saturday, but the defending Super Bowl champions were not finished adding to their roster. Immediately following the seventh and final round, general manager Brett Veach and staff were busy sorting through the remaining undrafted prospects that fell through the cracks.
On Sunday, the Chiefs officially announced the addition of 18 new rookie free agents, in addition to their six-man 2020 draft class, headlined by first-round pick RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Additionally, Kansas City also reportedly agreed to terms with one non-UDFA, defensive back Andrew Soroh. The Florida Atlantic alum was previously on the Chiefs 90-man roster last offseason after a success rookie minicamp tryout.
Most recently, Soroh played for the XFL’s New York Guardians prior to the league’s abrupt conclusion due to COVID-19 restrictions. At 6’0,” 202-pounds, Soroh is a hard-hitting hybrid type with above average tackling ability, however he lacks elite NFL speed.
