Reading as much as I can on the Chiefs....I was shocked to learn the Chiefs are interested in repeating as SB Champs. Could a swore I heard Andy and Patrick tell the media, "Naw, we're good. Let someone else have a turn ".🙄

Where, in the video of Rashee?  He's not a qb, rookie or injured so would report with vets I would assume.

No, I meant to ask why Ross isn't included with the 30+ that's in camp now.  Powell is there.  It's not limited to official rookies and QBs.  Ross is coming back from injury and supposedly working out.  He needs to get an early start as much or more than anyone.  He won't make the squad without extra effort since most of the WR slots are already filled.

May be he's not 100% yet or working with a trainer to get there? Otherwise I doubt he'll be scratched off just yet after all the hype last year.

If he wasn't listed with an injury, and iirc they removed that designation last year, then he's not eligible.  Powell could have some sort of injury so would be eligible.  You can have an injury and still be eligible to attend early and practice.  Pacheco is practicing for instance even though he has the yellow jersey.

Here’s what makes Deneric Prince different from other Chiefs running backs

Charles Goldman

Sat, July 22, 2023 at 6:45 AM CDT

Kansas City Chiefs undrafted free agent rookie RB Deneric Prince has turned heads during the offseason program thus far. Coaches and teammates alike seem impressed with his size and ability right out of the gate.

Following training camp practice on Friday, Prince was able to detail what separates him and makes him different from the rest of the running back room in Kansas City.

“Me personally, I feel like I’m an every-down back,” Prince said. “I feel like I can do it all. Routes to running hard, whatever they need.”

Prince’s pass-catching ability has stood out significantly. At Tulsa, he was seldom used as a receiver, catching just 17 passes for 162 yards and a score. Prince says that even though he rarely caught passes at Tulsa, he was always ready to catch the ball should it come his way.

“Yeah, that’s one of the things where If I don’t get the ball in the game, I stay after practice and get extra catches,” Prince said. “Just to always be prepared.”

Similarly, Prince was not used on special teams often in college, but he has carved out a role on the team’s kick return unit in Kansas City. Dave Toub even likened his ability to that of former Chiefs kick returner Knile Davis. It’s just another area that Prince feels sets him apart and will allow him to showcase his natural abilities.

“Just my ability to run in space,” Prince said. “I feel like that is going to show a lot.”

Prince saw an outsized portion of repetitions during the offseason workout program with both Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco sidelined. Now, he’s trying to learn from the veterans and improve as much as he can during the course of training camp.

“Obviously, I want to get better at everything,” Prince said. “So, I feel like I can improve in my pass protection and whatever coach needs me to improve on, I’m looking to work for it.”

It’s the right type of mentality to have for a rookie who is fighting for an opportunity to make the 53-man roster.

Chiefs S Chamarri Conner reminds Mike Edwards of himself as a rookie

Charles Goldman

Fri, July 21, 2023 at 3:24 PM CDT

The Kansas City Chiefs have some new pieces in the secondary for a second consecutive year. This time, it’s the safety position getting an influx of new talent with veteran Mike Edwards joining in free agency and Chamarri Conner being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft.

After spending the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Edwards says that learning a new system has him feeling “like a rookie again” in some ways. Even as he’s tried to learn and soak everything up himself, he’s quickly become a mentor for the rookie Conner. And the veteran, Edwards, likes what he’s seen from the rookie, even likening Conner to himself when he first entered the NFL back in 2019.

“Chamarri (Conner) is a phenomenal player,” Edwards said. “I mean, he’s a rookie. He’s kind of like me when I was a rookie. He learns very well. You can see that he’s got some things that you can’t teach as far as like instincts and everything. He just has that and some people can’t have that. You see that from him. He can play all over, he can play dime, safety. He’ll be used all over. I really like how he’s played.”

That is especially high praise from a veteran player like Edwards, who has a penchant for being a ballhawk himself. His three interceptions returned for touchdowns since 2019 are among the most in the NFL during that span. Edwards hasn’t been on the field much with Conner this offseason due to a hamstring injury, but he’s done plenty of observation.

Asked about what he’s learned from Edwards so far, the rookie Conner explained that he’s comfortable asking questions and getting feedback from his new teammate. He knows that Edwards has a lot of knowledge and insight to offer from his four years in the league.

“I’m learning a lot,” Conner said. “I can always ask Mike (Edwards) questions or you know get some feedback from him. It’s been great just to see a guy that has been in the league for a while and being able to learn from him. It has been good.”
