I forgot to share this earlier this morning, given the buzz of Day 1. Here’s our full preview for the Chiefs’ training camp. It’s really cool to share this byline with @adamteicher. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
Congrats to my Man! @Mathieu_Era one of the best to ever do it!

I’m thrilled and honored to be joining the Chiefs Radio Network. It’s absolutely surreal. Now, enjoy some of my pregame and postgame analysis from the Arrowhead parking lot in 2003. I’ve changed, but apparently not too much.

Trey Smith on no longer having Joe Thuney as a teammate: “Damn, I miss him.”
Trey Smith on his extension: “I really love my job. “I lost my mother when I was 15. I made 2 promises: Get my degree & (earned a life-changing deal). I made a promise man & my parents sacrificed so much for me to be here.”

Patrick Mahomes on Josh Simmons: “I’m excited for the future that he has.”

Andy Reid, after a 68-minute practice, said that his message to the Chiefs yesterday was “keep the urgency up.” Reid said Josh Simmons looked well, given it’s his 1st camp practice. Reid also applauded Jared Wylie, who has returned from his torn ACL injury: “He’s worked hard.”
The biggest winner of today’s practice is Rashee Rice, who was the most-targeted receiver for Patrick Mahomes.
Goal Line: Mahomes to Rice.
Here’s the offensive line for the 1st group rep — Josh Simmons, Kingsley Suamataia, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith & Jaylon Moore. Remember, today’s practice is for season ticket members.

New story. Before camp, George Karlaftis made a commitment to the Chiefs. In a 4-year extension, Karlaftis is expected to be an even bigger focal point for the defense, alongside Chris Jones. “He’s a relentless player. You can trust him & he’s reliable.” espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
