Protective Rookie Josh Simmons Entrusted with Safeguarding Patrick Mahomes, According to Chiefs Speculations
Kansas City Chiefs Rookie Josh Simmons Set to Protect Patrick Mahomes in Season Opener
The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their 2025 season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5, and a significant focus lies on rookie left tackle Josh Simmons. Selected with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Simmons is expected to make his NFL debut against the Chargers and start at left tackle.
The Chiefs view Simmons as their long-term solution on Mahomes' blind side, and their trust in his upside and work ethic is evident in the responsibility placed on him to protect the franchise quarterback. Simmons entered the NFL with a blend of athleticism, size, and raw potential, and his ability to recover mid-play when beaten off the snap has been noted by coaches.
The Chiefs' offensive line has undergone an overhaul, with Kingsley Suamataia moving to left guard. This reshaping of the offensive line includes Simmons as a key component, as the team continues to retool around Mahomes in their pursuit of another championship run.
Chiefs coaches are "very excited" about Simmons' development, and they are optimistic about the improvements made up front. Some growing pains should be expected for Simmons, but the Chiefs have a high degree of trust in his ability to adapt and protect Mahomes' blind side.
The game against the Los Angeles Chargers will be streamed on YouTube, and the Chiefs' second game of the season offers a chance to measure the improvements made up front. The Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in their second game of the season on September 14, in a Super Bowl rematch.
The Chiefs' season will begin on a Friday, marking a change from their usual Sunday games. As the team prepares for their 2025 campaign, fans and analysts alike will be watching with bated breath to see how Simmons performs in his NFL debut and whether he can live up to the expectations placed on him.
