Kansas City Chiefs Monitoring Deontae Lawson Ahead of Potential Move

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly keeping a close eye on Alabama linebacker Deontae Lawson as they evaluate potential additions to their defense, according to an ESPN report.

Lawson, a 6’2″, 230-pound defensive standout, has been a dominant force for the Crimson Tide, showcasing his athleticism, football IQ, and ability to make game-changing plays. His combination of size, speed, and instincts has made him one of the most intriguing linebacker prospects in recent years.

Sources indicate that the Chiefs are considering multiple options to strengthen their defense, and Lawson’s skill set aligns perfectly with their needs. With his ability to excel in both run defense and pass coverage, he could be a valuable asset to Kansas City’s linebacker corps.

“Deontae Lawson is a player with the tools to thrive in an NFL system like Kansas City’s,” an NFL scout told ESPN. “He’s physical, smart, and plays with an edge. If the Chiefs are serious about adding him, he could make an immediate impact.”

While it remains unclear whether the Chiefs are eyeing Lawson for the upcoming NFL Draft or exploring other avenues to bring him into their system, the interest from a Super Bowl-contending team speaks volumes about his potential.

As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Kansas City’s next move—and whether Lawson will soon be donning the red and gold.
