It should come as no surprise that every news outlet is covering the glory and dominance of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid amidst the current Chiefs Dynasty. There’s also plenty of attention being paid to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, as expected. But there’s one guy who built an extremely talented team time and time again.
Chiefs’ general manager Brett Veach was officially hired as the general manager in 2017, and has done a remarkable job.
He was hired after the 2017 draft, when they selected Patrick Mahomes with their first round draft pick, but was instrumental in putting the Texas Tech quarterback on their radar.
Veach fell in love with Mahomes and now looks like a genius. He’s also built a great cast around him through the draft and free agency. They’ve hit on many draft picks, re-signed pivotal pieces, and pieced together great football teams.
He’s not someone who gets a ton of light shined on him with all the other stars that Kansas City has to offer, but he deserves a ton of credit.
