Former Tennessee Volunteers offensive lineman Zach Fulton made an instant impact as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs last season.
Fulton, who started 40 career games as a Vol, started all 16 games at right tackle for the Chiefs in 2014.
However, it’s no certainty that Fulton will retain his starting spot in 2015.
Herbie Teope of ChiefsDigest.com reported this week that Fulton was not among the starting offensive linemen at the Chiefs’ first OTA.

Instead it was Jeff Allen who was taking first team reps at right guard.
Allen played in only game for the Chiefs last season, due to an elbow injury.
Fulton did take reps at Center, according to Teope.
This is probably just an instance of the Chiefs seeing what kind of options they have along their offensive line.
Andy Reid already knows what Fulton looks like at right guard. He likely just wants to see what Allen looks like at right guard (as well as other positions).
Fulton will have to battle to be a starter again this season, but I’d say the likelihood of that happening is fairly high.
