Felix Anudike-Uzomah was the 31st and last pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Playing as a defensive end for the Kansas State Wildcats, Felix will be right at home as he was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round. The big 6 foot 4, 255 lbs defensive end was born in Kansas City, Missouri on 24 January 2002 and later attended Lee Summit High School in Lee's Summit, Missouri. At K-State University, the 21-year-old Anudike-Uzomah was studying social science.
Felix saw limited action during his Freshman year with the Wildcats featuring in only 5 games as a reserve. However, he was selected as a starter in his Sophomore year and had a breakout year. In just 12 starts, he had 51 tackles with 14 for a loss of yards, 6 forced fumbles, and 11 sacks. He had another exciting year in 2022 with 8.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. His performance made him a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award. Some of his outstanding achievements are:
First-team All-American (2022)
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year (2022)
2× Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year (2021, 2022)
2× First-team All-Big 12 (2021, 2022)
As per scouting reports, Felix has good strength and a long frame which will get even better. He is excellent at pass-rush defense and makes great use of his length. He plays with a high level of intensity and urgency leading to many opportunities, but he will need to harness all that energy and play with better control. Powerful hips and heavy hands allow him to explode into the call carrier’s pads and stop the run from challenging angles. He needs to improve his run defense, but his rush potential in the NFL should mean that he sees the starting role sooner than later.
