Over the past few seasons in Kansas City, the Chiefs’ linebacker corps has undergone a bit of a youth movement. The two players who have been at the forefront of that movement, Willie Gay Jr. and Nick Bolton, share a tight-knit bond. They know each other from back in their college days, back when Bolton was being recruited. Their teams also met on the gridiron during their days in the SEC.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke about the bond that these two players share back during OTAs.
“They’ve got a bond,” Reid said. “They’ve known each other a long time, so they’ve got that natural thing that’s going on there. And they work at it, so I’ve liked what I’ve seen. I think both of them are much more comfortable with what we’re doing right now than what they were at the beginning of last year. It’s been so far so good. Productive. It’s been good. This camp has been good for those guys.”
