There is a week to go until the 2026 NFL Draft, so the Kansas City Chiefs met with as many potential picks for the weekend of April 23rd-25th as the organization could before the deadline for such visits, which ended on Wednesday.
General manager Brett Veach spoke on Thursday, and we will have coverage of his press conference soon.
The team met with players at the NFL Scouting Combine, but here’s a list of players who have reportedly visited Kansas City for in-depth meetings with the Chiefs. Some qualify
as “top-30” visits.
What is a top-30 visit?
NFL teams are allowed to bring in up to 30 players for “top-30 visits”. It’s essentially a way for teams to get to know a player better. To toss some game film at them and see how they process it, and to give the team doctors a chance to take a look at any lingering questions regarding past or present injuries.
Players from schools within a 50-mile radius of the team facilities do not count against top-30 visits. It’s important to note that on-field work is strictly prohibited during these visits. Players can tour facilities and locker rooms, but that’s it.
