ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — This time last year, Kareem Hunt was back in his hometown of Cleveland, anxiously awaiting an opportunity with no idea what role fate would play. “I was, you know, hanging out with my family, taking my boat out every day and just, working out, staying in shape, man, waiting on the call,” Hunt said after practice …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Last year at this time, Isiah Pacheco felt on the brink of a breakout.

NEW ORLEANS – Just in case the notion needed to be laid to rest, Andy Reid and Clark Hunt this week at the Super Bowl buried the notion that the 66-year-old head coach plans to retire anytime soon. “I don’t have a sense that he’s remotely close to wanting to be done,” Hunt said. “You know, I think he’s always …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote, “Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.” It’s a good thing Aristotle never watched the Kansas City Chiefs play football.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Even with Patrick Mahomes on the field for Kansas City’s opening practice of training camp, all eyes fixated on rookie Xavier Worthy on Wednesday, and the first-round wide receiver made an impression early.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the Chiefs defense gathered for the start of offseason workouts earlier this month, coordinator Steve Spagnuolo want to deliver a sharp message. “It’s a whole new year,” Spagnuolo said. “There are no guarantees that we will be the same.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It was only a 7-on-7 session at Wednesday’s organized team practice activity — better known as OTAs — but Patrick Mahomes and Hollywood Brown teamed up for a play Chiefs didn’t see much last year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After an opening day of mixed results in windy conditions, the Chiefs rookie minicamp moved indoors on Sunday, and the protection from the element helped the young group of pass catchers bounce back in a big way.
