Chiefs rookie minicamp tryouts selected in 2023 XFL rookie draft
The Kansas City Chiefs hosted 51 players on a tryout basis at their rookie minicamp back in May.
Only a handful of those players earned an opportunity to join the 90-man offseason roster in Kansas City. Some have since gone on to try out and join other NFL teams. Others will try to take a non-traditional route to the NFL, joining a spring football league to prove themselves.
The XFL hosted their 2023 rookie draft on Friday, June 16 and several of the players selected were at the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp just a month ago. One player was even recently released from their 90-man roster.
Here’s a quick look at those players and which XFL teams draft them:
Arlington Renegades
Holy Cross/New Haven QB Connor Degenhardt
Arizona State WR Charles Hall
D.C. Defenders
Western Kentucky LB/DB Kaleb Oliver
Missouri State WR Ty Scott
Houston Roughnecks
Grand Valley State OL Quinton Barrow
Orlando Guardians
Cincinnati OL Jeremy Cooper
St. Louis Battlehawks
Merrimack College DB Anthony Witherstone (Waived on Thursday)
Vegas Vipers
Liberty OL Naasir Watkins
