The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting a prospect on a top-30 visit who they met with formally at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, LSU interior offensive lineman Anthony Bradford is set to take a visit to Kansas City. This will come after he visits both the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers. The Chiefs also had a formal visit with Bradford at the combine, so there is at least an illusion of interest here.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 322 pounds, Bradford spent the majority of the 2022 college season playing right guard for LSU. He does also have experience playing the left tackle position, with 291 snaps at the position over the past two seasons. While most project him as an interior offensive lineman at the next level, he’s a prospect who could probably serve as a swing lineman for at least three spots (right guard, left guard and right tackle).

Bradford was a standout performer at the combine, posting the fourth-best 10-yard split (1.74s) among offensive linemen. His tape tends to show a player that wins with his size and power rather than finesse and quickness, but he’s shown in the pre-draft process that he might be a better athlete than many figured him to be.
If you’re unfamiliar with top-30 visits, these are opportunities for teams to host prospects at their facilities and get to know them better. They can undergo cognitive testing, have medical examinations, tour team facilities, and meet with coaches and front office staff.
Time is running out for the Chiefs to have players in town for these types of visits. Prospects can no longer be hosted by teams at their facilities after Wednesday, April 19.
