Additionally, Ryne Nutt is now the team's Director of College Scouting, Trey Koziol will serve as a National Scout, Jason Lamb has been promoted to College and Pro Scout and Rob Francois' new role will be as a National Football Scout.
"I've said from the beginning that I was fortunate to take this job with an incredibly talented staff already in place, a group that I was able to get to know very well over the last five years," Veach said. "Throughout the year they continued to impress me. Not only did they support me, but they exceeded my expectations and each of them have earned this next step in their careers. I'm excited to continue to watch each of them grow in their new roles."
In addition to the club's promotions, the team has added Mike Bradway as the Assistant Director of Player Personnel. Bradway enters his 11thNFL season after spending the previous 10 years with the Philadelphia Eagles in various personnel capacities. He most recently served as the Eagles Assistant Director of College Scouting. The club has also added Greg Castillo as a College Scouting Coordinator.

"Mike and Greg will be great additions to our staff," Veach said. "I have a lot of familiarity with Mike from our time together in Philadelphia. He's got a great football mind and is a talented evaluator. Greg's work ethic and attitude give him a really high ceiling in this profession and he'll be an asset to our department moving forward. Both of these guys will fit in seamlessly to our staff."
Veach enters his second season as the General Manager with the Chiefs and his 12th year in the NFL. He is the seventh GM in team history, earning that title on July 10, 2017.
