Chiefs area scout Terry Delp explains selection of OL Nick Allegretti

The Chiefs have a recent history of drafting and developing offensive linemen in the late rounds of the NFL draft. Nick Allegretti looks to be the next player in that line of success. His versatility is a nice bonus for the Chiefs. “His best tape was at guard because he’s just a big, physical, mauler type guy,” Delp explained. “He’s really fun to watch, he gets after it, plays football hard. But he is athletic enough and versatile enough, you saw it in the East West (Game) to play center and he did a really good job at it.

“He played a little heavier during the year, so guard looked better and he lost some weight for the all-star game and looked really good at center. Definitely looking at a two-position guy in the NFL.” One thing that influenced the Chiefs decision on Allegretti was his background as high school wrestler. It informs his understanding of leverage in a big way. “It’s one of the first things we look at, we have to type in a report of high school stuff and wrestling is one of them,” Delp said. “You get excited when you see that in an offensive lineman because they understand leverage, it’s a mindset, it’s toughness. They really get an understanding of leverage so it’s a plus for sure.” Rest of the story at
