I hope Darwin knows the award isn’t supposed to be named after him.

1st team 7-on-7s: Hill, Hardman, and Callaway all on the same side of the formation. 15 finds Callaway on an in-breaking route in traffic

Fun to imagine what they can do with all that speed at the same time #Chiefs


Callaway getting 1st team reps. Powell dropped an easy pass while running with the 3’s

I’d love to see plenty of that trio on the field together.

Welp, better cut him.

:D

Jody Fortson absolutely crushing today’s camp.

Can’t wait to see Clyde get more involved in the passing game. That’s where he’s really going to show his value and why he was a perfect fit for this offense.

Bolton and Gay are going to be a great duo. I have no doubt in my mind. The fact that they already have a bond/friendship will be great for their chemistry,

Dark horse to beat out Bell, or nah?

I feel Fortson has the ability, but they just can't justify a spot for him.

It's going to be nice to have playmakers with burst at linebacker again. It's been a minute.

I mean he’s already better than Keizer

Vet move (hopefully)

Fortson is a Tight End

Callaway is going to make the team.

Bolton took the snaps with the 1s? Good.

So it sounds like Rashad Fenton is kind of the odd man out in the corner rotation right now. A little surprising, but I suppose they probably already know what they have with him in the slot. They must still want Sneed playing inside on passing downs. Hopefully Hughes and Baker are up for the challenge.

MOAR


This is what I want to see

Fenton is a slot guy and a damn good one to say the least

Odd man out? He’s going to make the team. They just clearly view him as depth only, but he’s great depth.

Chiefs say Travis Kelce left today’s practice with back & hip tightness

Because Hitchens was out today.

Back is nothing to mess with, smart to just let it rest.

Doesn't sound to serious hopefully.

Fenton can play slot and safety no way hes getting cut

I mean, yes and no. He could fill in either spot.

Why the **** would Fenton get cut? He’s done nothing but ball out

Oh obviously I know he's on the team, not saying he's getting cut. I'm just a little surprised he's not the #1 slot guy out of the gates. I assumed Sneed would be playing outside permanently when they let Breeland go, but they must have different plans.

Or they just want to see what they have in Baker and Hughes.

Green Wristbands = Vaccinated player at Chiefs camp.

Yea, Jones looks like he’s in great shape. Can’t wait to see what exactly their plan is.

Christ, Jones looks like he lost 10 pounds just off his damn face.

Clearly the DE thing has him motivated.

Never said that, I stated he was the odd man out 'in the rotation.'

I'm surprised he's not the primary slot guy was my point.

Boner alert.

Can we please not freak the **** out any time a player is leaving the field? This happens every year.

These guys haven’t been in real football practice for 6 months. There’s a heat advisory and they’re getting used to the grind again.

Guys are going to leave practice with tightness, cramps and other issues.

Relax

Saw this in him the moment he was drafted and I saw his highlights. This guy is going to be awesome.

He’s going to be a favorite here in no time

Did he lose any dick weight?

I went on a diet once, but only lost dick weight. Tried to gain weight, but it all went to my stomach. Big mistake.

I said it before, were going to overwhelm them with speed.

And when teams decide to drop 7….that new OL will look even better.

This all day long.

Improved line play, give Pat more time, which allows Hardman and Hill more time to blaze down the field. Its going to be a thing of beauty.

Hill, Hardman and Calloway. Out of that someone should be open soon just with the pure speed on the field. Then Kelce and Clyde. Sheesh.

For refrence Calloway is listed a 5' 10 5/8" and 200 lbs. with a 4.41 40. and 7 second 3 cone.

I heard on 610 yesterday that he has always wanted to be a DE.

At his current weight he isn't going to stand up in the middle well anymore outside of pure passing downs.

Clark - Reed - Wharton - Jones

That’s an intriguing line for passing downs.

We will see if he can hold the edge on running plays or not. That will be key to him playing there. Otherwise he is no better than Okafor at that position.

Chris Jones looks like Justin Houstons build during his 20 sack season.

Antonio Calaway is somebody I haven't paid attention to until now.

4.4 speed and wildly athletic and put up 586 yards and 5 TD’s on 43 receptions as a rookie.

If someone can get him to stop smoking tree we may have a diamond in the rough here

Smoking trees is fine. He just needs to not get caught like most of the rest of the league.

Again, people pooh-pooh the Jones playing more DE move and screech about the lack of depth at DE, but I really think the DL is going to be special, guys.

Don't think rigidly. This isn't your father's NFL. And it's not ****ing Madden. People are bean counting the players at each position group and claiming we're deficient.

If Jones does well playing at end, we've got two starters in Reed and Nnadi. We can kick Jones back inside to sub one of them out. We can keep Jones at end and sub in Wharton. And Khalen Saunders is still on the roster, too, and while I'm less optimistic about him than I was last year, if he's your 4th or 5th DT, you've got something special.

That interior is so deep and so flexible and so awesome that I really think Spags is just going to do whatever he can to get great players on the field and keep everybody fresh.

This guy gets it!
