The secret weapon

It has been a theory of mine that Reid knows exactly what he has in Dieter since the preseason. A well-kept secret that could turn the tides next season and seasons to come.

He has been my player to watch all season, and I am as excited to see Dieter in 2018 as Mahomes. The two could be a tandem worth it’s salt by the end of the season.

If Gehrig’s journey so far is a testament to what’s to come, then the next step is to be a regular on an already stacked offense. He is the teammate others want to have. His smile and his character shine through as much as his effort on the field.

He does amazing work in the community, and his humble stature keeps him low to the ground. He will talk to anyone he comes across, unless your name is Chris Taylor.

Gehrig Dieter is not only a player to watch going into next season for the Kansas City Chiefs, but he is a potential fan favorite and secret weapon for Mahomes and company.
