The sun wasn’t shining in St. Joseph this morning when the Kansas City Chiefs took the field for a training camp practice at Missouri Western State University ahead of their preseason matchup against the Detroit Lions.
The Chiefs’ new-look offense is loaded with talent, and several players stood out at Tuesday’s workouts.
Among the top performers was rookie receiver Phillip Brooks, a local star from Kansas State University who did not play in the first preseason match against the Jaguars and has not yet made his first appearance with the team.
Check out this video of Brooks hauling in this pass at top speed to make this full-send backward diving catch that was nearly intercepted by cornerback Joshua Williams:

These are the types of inspired plays Kansas City needs to make when they face real competition again, and since Brooks did not play in the Chiefs’, there is a chance fans can see him make a reception like this against the Lions this weekend.
