The Kansas City Chiefs officially signed six draft picks and seven undrafted free agents on Friday. They also cut Tautvydas Kieras. More specifically, they waived / injured Tautvydas Kieras. He is the Lithuanian discus thrower that the Chiefs signed earlier this week. Assuming he clears waivers, he could work out some sort of injury settlement with the Chiefs.

The 6'3 271-pound Kieras had no football experience. He apparently fit the measurables that the Chiefs look for in a linebacker so they took a look. You knew that this was the longest of long shots. He was first discovered at Mississippi State's pro day.

He took part in MSU's pro day last week, repping the 225-pound bench press 24 times, running an unofficial 4.69 40-yard dash, earning a vertical leap of 35 inches and a broad jump of 9-foot, 8-inches. His broad and vertical jumps were tied for the highest of any athlete measured at the pro day, per the Mississippi State school website. Kieras began training to play football in Las Vegas prior to the pro day.

Mississippi State, you say? That's the school of the Chiefs top draft pick, Chris Jones.
