Blythe told reporters Monday that the Chiefs have always been his favorite team.
“I was born in the Kansas City area,” he said. “My parents were living in Liberty at the time. And they moved shortly after I was born... I have Kansas City roots and [I'm] excited to get back and explore the city as an adult."
The former Los Angeles Ram recorded 1,200+ snaps at center in 2020 and 1,200+ snaps at right guard in 2018.
