Kansas City rookies look to crack Super Bowl champions’ lineup
It is quite familiar with how much tight end Travis Kelce means to the offence. And it knows that its defence, which allowed the second-fewest points in the NFL last season, returns mostly intact after shutting down San Francisco in their latest Super Bowl triumph.
Specifically the rookies, who reported to camp Tuesday for a few extra days of work before the veterans arrived.Like most general managers, Brett Veach often preaches about taking “the best player available” during the NFL draft, and if that was the case, KC was mighty fortunate in April. The players it selected also filled some of their biggest needs on both sides of the ball, and they are being counted to step into important roles almost immediately.
Worthy pronounced himself ready to go this week, and he has been getting plenty of reps with a compression wrap on his still-recovering hamstring. That is good news for Kansas City, which plans to use his game-breaking speed to stretch defences down the field in a way that Mahomes has not been able since Tyreek Hill was running routes for him.
The other big hole for KC is at left tackle, where they let penalty-prone Donovan Smith hit free agency. While competition could last much of training camp, the front-runner to start appears to be second-round draft pick Kingsley Suamataia.“I’ve known Wanya as a player. He’s a great guy. He’s friends with a lot of guys that I know,” Suamataia said. “We are boys on and off the field, just trying to gain that job.
