Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Kansas City Chiefs to worry about in 2021

Orlando Brown, Offensive Tackle

We start off up front along the offensive line, where the Chiefs really struggled to stay healthy this past season. Heading into the Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Chiefs were missing multiple starters along the offensive line, and that led to Patrick Mahomes running for his life for most of the game.

This offseason, they have completely revamped the group, headed by Orlando Brown, whom they got from the Baltimore Ravens in a trade. Brown is not only an extremely talented left tackle, but he is also very young, and someone who could end up protecting Mahomes’s blindside for the next five-plus seasons.

With a stellar offensive line in place, as well as how many weapons the Chiefs have on that side of the ball, this is an offense that is going to be very explosive once again in 2021. Las Vegas did a lot to improve their defense this offseason, but as will be the case with the rest of the league, it is going to be about keeping this group off the field if they want to beat them.
