Garrett Nussmeier stod tilbage som den 249. spiller, der blev udtaget i NFL-draftet 2024, da Kansas City Chiefs endelig valgte ham i syvende runde. Det var en lang ventetid for den tidligere LSU-kvaterback, som måtte se ni andre quarterbacks blive draftet før ham.
Da Nussmeier endelig fik sit navn kaldt, var følelserne tæt på overfladen. Med tårer i øjnene tog han imod Chiefs’ kasket og fejrede øjeblikket sammen med sin familie – heriblandt sin far, Doug Nussmeier, som er offensiv koordinator for New Orleans Saints.
Den nye Chiefs-spiller kommer til en trup, der allerede rummer flere etablerede navne på quarterback-positionen, herunder stjernen Patrick Mahomes samt Justin Fields, Chris Oladokun og Jake Haener.
Nussmeiers karriere i college var præget af succes. Over fem sæsoner i Baton Rouge startede han 23 kampe og opnåede et imponerende facit på 15-8. Gennem perioden kastede han for 7.699 yards med 52 touchdowns og blot 24 interceptions – en solid præstation med en completionsprocent på 64.
