KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Former Orange wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad on Wednesday, Oct. 11, the team announced.

A graduate transfer from Maryland, Etta-Tawo authored the most prolific receiving season in Syracuse football history in his one year with the Orange.
