It appears that Deneric Prince isn’t the only Kansas City rookie training with former Chiefs RB Derrick Blaylock this offseason.
The former fifth-round pick in the 2001 NFL draft now does athletic training in Humble, Texas at Armed Sports Performance. There, Blaylock trains college and pro athletes, even working with Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman in the past.
He helped Prince prepare during the pre-draft process and afterward. Now, Blaylock is helping another Chiefs rookie as he gets prepared for his first NFL training camp in July.
Blaylock shared a clip of Chiefs rookie DT Keondre Coburn training at Armed Sports Performance. Check it out:

Coburn is moving well and looking pretty spry for a defensive tackle listed at 6-foot-2 and 330 pounds. He’ll need to get in great shape to be ready for the onset of training camp because Andy Reid’s conditioning tests are known to be quite tough.
It shouldn’t be a big surprise to see Coburn, who is a Tyler, Texas native, Westfield High School grad and University of Texas alumni training in the area. It is fun, however, to see players from the Chiefs’ past and present collide with Blaylock having transitioned into a post-NFL career.
Update: It appears that Prince is also currently out training with Blaylock in Texas.
