Kingsley Suamataia, despite being a second-round pick and initially winning the left tackle competition, has struggled in his first season. After starting two games, he was benched for Wanya Morris following a performance that revealed he has significant room for growth. Suamataia has recorded six pressures in 62 opportunities, indicating that he has not yet adapted to the speed of the game. His quick losses in protection have raised concerns, leading to the decision to switch to Morris as the starter. The Chiefs are not giving up on Suamataia, as they believe he can improve through practice.
