PFF grades: Veteran TE earned Kansas City Chiefs' highest mark in loss to Seattle Seahawks

The Kansas City Chiefs moved to 0-2 in the 2025 preseason after Friday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Though the results of preseason games are largely inconsequential, the gameday experience provided Kansas City's up-and-coming players an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in front of fans and coaches.

With most of the Chiefs' starters riding the bench for the game, second and third-string players were given a chance to earn their spot on Kansas City's 53-man roster.

After the game, the experts at Pro Football Focus released their grades from Friday's contest and gave veteran tight end Robert Tonyan a mark of 89.2, which led all Chiefs players.

Though this strong performance doesn't guarantee a spot on the 53-man roster, the ninth-year tight end has certainly given general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid much to think about ahead of Kansas City's final cuts.

Stay tuned to see if Tonyan secures himself a spot in the Chiefs' deep tight end room ahead of the team's first regular-season game in São Paulo, Brazil, on August 9th
