Second stop on my tour is an hour or so north of Kansas City, and there isn’t a ton in St. Joseph, home of Missouri Western where the Chiefs practice, but there were a lot of fans out there braving triple-digit heat indexes to see the champs. Here’s what I took away from the visit …
1. Kansas City’s excited about its tackle situation, with big-money right tackle Jawaan Taylor and veteran left tackle Donovan Smith—who the team scooped off the market the week of the draft—aboard. Of course, the pads aren’t on yet (they start Friday here), and things can change, but the Chiefs actually feel this might be the best set of bookends they’ve had at the position since Patrick Mahomes became the starter in 2018.
