The sponsorship is a little too on the nose. . .
Thoughts on the #Browns new alternate uniform look? 👀👀 (📸 @Browns)
The @AtoZSportsNFL top 20 quarterback rankings are here. A (futile) fight to dethrone Patrick Mahomes while a new crop of superstars begins to emerge. More here from our team: buff.ly/oBEuLbZ

Bryan Cook casually saying "Pause" with a straight face after just saying "anyone at any given time can go deep" was hilarious 😂
Chiefs S Bryan Cook with a unique outlook on the SB loss: "My first postseason loss was in the Super Bowl? I'll take that any day of the week."
Chiefs S Bryan Cook on Jaden Hicks and why he's ready for a bigger role: "I feel like his capacity to learn. He's learning at a rapid rate. He's always high energy and things like that. He'll bring the energy and juice. He's always ready to learn."
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco on the RB room: "It's phenomenal. We've got guys that you can depend on. You've got guys playing all different roles and competing."
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco: "I'm feeling really good, having fun being out here in this environment. Beautiful setting." Says he's mentally and physically prepared.
Chiefs DT Chris Jones on Kingsley Suamataia and Josh Simmons: "Great competition. A lot of moving parts. A lot of new faces. It's a good competitive battle. You've got to enjoy this competition. We have one of the hardest training camps and after they'll be able to evaluate who…
Chiefs DT Chris Jones on Omarr Norman-Lott: "He's young, but he's got a lot of raw talent. He can rush the passer."
Chiefs DT Chris Jones on George Karlaftis: "You watch over the years how he's progressed. How his game has grown. I'm so excited to have my boy back. He didn't take any shortcuts. He worked his butt off. The Chiefs did right by him. I'm so proud of him."
Chiefs DT Chris Jones on Tyrann Mathieu and Frank Clark: "They brought a sense of leadership and tenacity that this team was needing to get over the hump. We created a lot of special moments with those guys."
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo on LB Nick Bolton: "He's Patrick Mahomes for us, I've said this before."
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo on Tyrann Mathieu: "He'll do something great going forward. He might end up being the president, who knows." 😂
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo: "We talk about building a foundation. . . It feels like the preparation to get ready gets shorter and shorter every year. . . In 1983, I was an intern with Washington. We went to training camp on July 6; there were 6 preseason games, and it felt like…
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo on Chamarri Conner: "He's become a multi-position guy, which is a good thing. You'll see him at nickel and safety and in exotic packages. He's an explosive athlete, and we've got to find ways to get him on the field."
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo on the offense focusing on the deep ball: "You can't touch the quarterback, so it's a longer down. They were 1-of-2 there today. The offense will make us better at taking away the deep plays."
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo: "First meeting we had with the defense the other night, I felt compelled to tell them, 'Don't take this for granted.' . . . The guys don't realize how fast this goes by, but I think now, they get it." Spags says he'd do training camp for a full-time…
2nd DL rotation I just saw LDE - Felix Anudike-Uzomah DT- Fabien Lovett DT- Jerry Tillery RDE- Ashton Gillotte
Hopefully Xavier Worthy can be a game-changer as an occasional punt returner this year
