The NFL is forever about talent and opportunity, and perhaps no group of players best captures that spirit like undrafted rookie free agents. Their path to the final roster won’t be easy, of course, but the Chiefs’ 2015 class of college free agents will have a chance to prove they belong and with history on their side.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With minicamp in the books, the Chiefs have a month’s worth of downtime before kicking off training camp in late July.
