The Kansas City Chiefs bolstered their offensive line on Sunday by acquiring rookie offensive tackle Diego Pounds in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens. Kansas City sent Baltimore a 2028 sixth-round pick as part of the deal.

Pounds, who spent the last two seasons as Ole Miss' starting left tackle, was ranked as the No. 12 offensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft – and a projected fourth-round pick – according to The Athletic's Dane Brugler. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive tackle appeared in 28 games (with 24 starts) during his time with the Rebels, yielding just two sacks in that span.

Despite that performance, however, Pounds went undrafted and signed with Baltimore as a free agent. He was impressive during the preseason, too, as he allowed a grand total of zero pressures across 26 pass-blocking snaps at left tackle.

Now in Kansas City, Pounds will have a chance to build on his immense potential as a member of the Chiefs' offensive line room.
