Chiefs' Garrett Nussmeier: Slide ends in Kansas City
The Chiefs selected Nussmeier in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 249th overall.
There was a fair amount of mainstream media hype for Nussmeier to go on Day 2 of the draft, so for him to fall into the late seventh makes him a harmless, all-upside pick for the Chiefs. The Chiefs of course hope Nussmeier won't need to see the field right away, but all it might take is a good start or two to make Nussmeier a fought-over trade target a few years from now. In the meantime, the Chiefs will likely be happy if Nussmeier can merely stick on the roster as a backup -- an outcome that was taken as a foregone conclusion by most draft observers as recently as the morning before the Chiefs picked him. Nussmeier (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) is smallish and struggled a concerning amount during his LSU career, including in his most recent season. Nussmeier's completion percentage was poor in his first four years -- 64.2 as a fourth-year player was his career high to that point -- and then in 2025 Nussmeier's YPA dropped to 6.7 yards. This is probably another Quinn Ewers sort of scenario.

Garrett Nussmeier: May miss 2-3 weeks for procedure
Nussmeier may undergo a minimally invasive procedure to remove a cyst on his spine, which would cause him to miss 2-to-3 weeks of the offseason program while stitches heal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Nussmeier broke out at LSU in 2024, when he threw for 4,052 yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 INTs, but he finished with just 1,927 yards, 12 TDs and five interceptions in 2025. His final collegiate campaign saw him limited to just nine games due to chest and abdominal issues as well as chronic oblique pain, which tests undergone at the NFL Combine linked to a cyst on his spine. While the 6-foot-1, 205-pound QB has been asymptomatic in recent months, it wouldn't be surprising to see him opt to address the underlying issue via a procedure and potentially make his recovery during the period between rookie minicamp and training camp. Nussmeier is frequently projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
