The Kansas City Chiefs have contacted ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick about interviewing for their vacant general manager job, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Riddick, whose work on TV around the draft is critically acclaimed, was linked to the San Francisco 49ers' then-vacant GM gig earlier this offseason. The former defensive back has some experience as a scout and personnel executive, but moved to television in 2013.
The 49ers eventually hired another former defensive back-turned-media personality, John Lynch.
The Chiefs' GM job opened this week when the team made the surprising decision to part ways with John Dorsey. Co-director of player personnel Brett Veach is reportedly the front-runner for the job, but it appears the Chiefs will cast a wide net.
