Every newcomer on Chiefs’ roster heading into training camp

The Kansas City Chiefs have quite a few new faces at Missouri Western State University for training camp this year.

With 90 players under contract, more than a third of the players on the roster have never participated in an Andy Reid training camp in St. Joseph. For our purposes, we’re going to specifically take a look at those players who are new to the team and have never spent any time on the roster or practice squad.

Here’s a look at all 33 newcomers on the Chiefs’ roster as training camp begins on Sunday:
