Canadian offensive lineman Ryan Hunter has accepted a practice roster spot with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 23-year-old went unselected in the 2018 NFL draft, but signed with the Chiefs immediately afterwards as a priority undrafted free agent. He impressed during training camp and gets the chance to earn his way on to the 53-man roster by developing in the practice squad. The Chiefs view Hunter as a potential centre and guard with swing offensive linemen capabilities.

The Toronto Argonauts selected Hunter in the first round of the 2018 CFL draft.
