Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach is hard at work looking to unearth some gems to add to the 90-man offseason roster.
According to the NFL’s official transaction notice on Friday, the Chiefs had four players in for workouts and one player in for a visit. Several players who worked out are former NFL draft picks or undrafted free agents with their most recent professional play coming in the Canadian Football League. Some of these players will see their CFL contracts expire on Feb. 8 and could sign with Kansas City after that point in time.
A former first-round draft pick by the Denver Broncos in 2015 by way of the Missouri Tigers, Ray is a Kansas City native who played football at Bishop Miege High School. He grew up a big Chiefs fan and has a pretty sweet mural of the Chiefs, Royals, and Sporting KC tattooed on his body.
Ray didn’t play in the NFL in each of the past two seasons and played with Toronto Argonauts in the CFL in 2021. He appeared in just five games recording four tackles and one sack. The 2016 NFL season was his most productive season, recording eight sacks, 48 tackles, 21 QB hits, a forced fumble and a touchdown.
A Lee’s Summit, Missouri native who went to school at Missouri Western State University (where the Chiefs hold training camp), Dandridge has spent time playing in the CFL with the Ottawa Redblacks. He notably started his career recording an interception in three consecutive games. Listed at 5-10 and 180 pounds, Dandridge projects as a nickel corner in the NFL.
