Esa Pole

Chiefs signed OT Esa Pole.

A JuCo recruit out of Chabot College with just two years of FBS experience and four years of play period, the Chiefs are hoping Pole can be a late bloomer. He missed some time in 2023 with an MCL injury that eventually would require two surgeries. In 2024, the Washington State left tackle had ups and downs – several games with great PFF pass-block grades, and also two games against Oregon State and Texas Tech with pass block grades below 60. Pole will probably be more of a threat for a practice-squad spot in his first year in the NFL than he will be to make an active roster.
