We are 76 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs
‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.Left guard Kingsley Suamataia will wear that uniform for the Chiefs as the starting left guard for the second consecutive season in his third year as an NFL player.
He’s off to a good start, but is still looking up on the list of the franchise’s best No. 76s.
All-time Chiefs who wore No. 76
1. John Alt (1984-1996)
2. Mo Moorman (1968-1973)
3. John Tait (1999-2003)
4. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (2015-2019)
5. Brandon Albert (2008-2013)
Only two players who have worn No. 76 have won the Super Bowl in Kansas City, but each of Moorman and Duvernay-Tardif
arguably played their best in both of their lone championship campaigns.
76: Patrick Mahomes’ Grade in 2025 by Pro Football Focus
It was the lowest mark Pro Football Focus has given Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for an “Offense” grade since 2017, his rookie year, in which he started just the season finale. He averaged a grade of 89 during his seven years as a starter before 2025.
As someone who reluctantly cites these inarguably subjective grades given, it’s just an interesting note, and one that doesn’t necessarily reflect whether Mahomes took a step back himself.
There is a real chance the offensive system in place from 2023-2025, led by offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, had grown predictable enough to make the situation surrounding Kansas City’s star quarterback as difficult as any season in his career.
