The Kansas City Chiefs, who have a surprise opening at general manager after the departure of John Dorsey, have requested to interview Seahawks Co-Director of Player Personnel Scott Fitterer for the position.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted the news Monday morning.

The Chiefs’ shortlist to fill the position has five known candidates, according to Rapoport. Other candidates outside of Fitterer include in-house option Brett Veach, ESPN analyst and former Redskins and Eagles executive Louis Riddick, Titans Director of Player Personnel Ryan Cowden and Vikings Assistant GM George Paton.

Fitterer is considered one of the Seahawks’ many rising talents in the front office. He rose to his current position after originally working in the college scouting department.

Some notable Seattle draft picks include Russell Wilson (3rd round – 2012) Richard Sherman (5th round – 2011) K.J. Wright (4th round – 2011) and Kam Chancellor (5th round – 2010).

Fitterer interviewed with both the 49ers and the Colts for their general manager positions in January.
