3. Linebacker Leo Chenal shot the gap and blew up a running play in the backfield during team drills.
The Chiefs utilized a portion of Wednesday's practice to work on team running drills, providing Chenal with an opportunity to show off what he did best at the University of Wisconsin. Chenal – who racked up 115 tackles and 18.5 tackles-for-loss last season for the Badgers – shot the gap with tremendous closing speed during one of those running plays, stopping the ball-carrier in the backfield. It was undoubtedly one of the top defensive plays of the morning.
Chenal is still carving out his role on Kansas City's defense, but his ability to stop the run could earn him some playing time in those situations early on.

4. Linebacker Willie Gay made a handful of plays.
Another defensive player who stood out on Wednesday was Gay, who jarred the ball free from the ball-carrier for a forced fumble during team drills before intercepting a pass in the end zone a bit later. It marked the second interception of this year's camp for Gay, who also hauled in a pick-six during 7-on-7 drills last Friday.
Gay was asked about Wednesday's interception following practice, and as it turns out, the third-year linebacker has some lofty goals in mind when it comes to taking the ball away through the air.
"[Those things] give me a lot of confidence. It's my goal to lead linebackers in the NFL in interceptions this year," Gay said. "If Patrick throws me some, I know the other quarterbacks will because they're not as good as him."
That's a realistic goal considering Gay's performance so far in this year's camp.

5. Tight end Noah Gray put together a strong practice.
Gray was on the receiving end of several passes on Wednesday, including a physical grab on a slant during red zone team drills and two touchdown receptions later in the practice. Gray's first score occurred on the next snap following the aforementioned catch, as the second-year tight end found space in the corner of the end zone to haul in Patrick Mahomes' pass. His next score, which took place a bit later, was in the back of the end zone after Mahomes extended the play outside the pocket.
The former fifth-round pick earned a significant role on special teams last season, but if he can stack multiple performances like Wednesday's, he could earn more playing time on offense.
The Chiefs will return to practice on Thursday. For more information on training camp or for a schedule of practices, click here.
