Kahlil Benson is expected to play at right tackle and right guard verses the Rams in the preseason game. He's trending toward starting this year. He would be the first rookie mini-camp invitee to start his career as a Week 1 starter in league history.

Been watching updates on camp and I don’t think I’ve seen one mention of him. I know he was always a project physical specimen, but surprised I don’t think I’ve seen literally a single mention of him. Has he been that underwhelming?

In 2018, the first year of the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes era, Kareem Hunt rushed for 827 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games before being released from the team.

With Kenneth Walker III, that kind of consistent production on the ground is back in Kansas City. It will be a vital component in reclaiming the AFC West.

Is there anything people recommend I bring to the Chiefs training camp? I was thinking of a hat and a lawn chair and drinks but not sure what else I should bring. Never been before.
