The Chiefs know sixth-round OL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif will be a project and may not contribute much as a rookie. | ||||||
"It's a big swing and we're hoping for a home run," scout Pat Sperduto said. "You've got the [coaches who] can develop him. They'll close the gap as fast as they can and we'll see how quick he hits the field." LDT, 23, was working mostly as a backup guard during the spring after spending his college career in Canada at McGill University. At 6'5/298, he ran a 4.94 forty, repped 225 pounds 33 times on the bench press, and posted a 33.5-inch vertical. | ||||||
