Kansas City Chiefs: WR Otis Taylor \u2014 No. 89 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor\u2019s criminally underrated career includes being the first player after the merger to top 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Taylor, who was also one of the greatest players in AFL history, helped the Chiefs capture the franchise\u2019s first Super Bowl (and the final game played before the merger) with his game-clinching touchdown in Super Bowl IV.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jason Kelce compares Chiefs rookie Josh Simmons to Trent Williams | Yahoo Sports<\/p>\n

\n

Jason Kelce acknowledged he is a big fan of the pick during a discussion with his brother, Travis, and Chiefs guard Trey Smith in a recent episode of the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

The elder Kelce brother referred to Simmons\u2019 tape from his lone season at Ohio State as \u201cabsurd\u201d and had a lofty comparison for the 22-year-old rookie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve watched a lot of these linemen coming out the last few years,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cThis kid, I mean, he is the closest thing I\u2019ve seen to like a Trent Williams \u2013 like that next level strength and athleticism. The only reason he fell to you guys is because of that (patellar tendon) injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams has long been one of the NFL\u2019s top offensive tackles. The 37-year-old was the fourth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft and has made 11 Pro Bowls and earned three All-Pro first team nods during his 14-year career. Williams graded as Pro Football Focus\u2019 7th-best tackle among 81 qualified players at the position in 2024, ending a run of four consecutive seasons as a top-two tackle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Who should be calling the Cowboys about Micah Parsons? | NBC Sports<\/p>\n

\n

They\u2019ll get calls. And the overriding question is whether a new team would give up a pair of first-round picks and pay Parsons the $45 million per year he likely wants in new-money average on a long-term deal.<\/p>\n

So, who should be doing it?<\/p>\n

The best candidates would be a contending team that hopes to go all in. Their first-round picks would likely be low. The impact Parsons makes could be significant.<\/p>\n

The obvious candidates are the Bills and the Ravens. Both want to get past the Chiefs. Parsons could help make that happen.<\/p>\n

The Broncos become an interesting option, too. Ownership has the money to make it happen. And getting Parsons would thrust Denver into the upper echelon of the AFC.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Five Observations from Friday\u2019s Practice | Chiefs Training Camp 8\/1 | The Mothership<\/p>\n

\n

3. The Chiefs\u2019 starters took part in a 14-play \u201clong drive drill\u201d on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coach Reid ran the first-teamers through a 14-play \u201clong drive drill\u201d on Friday that tested each participant\u2019s endurance and knowledge of the playbook.<\/p>\n

The period, which sought to simulate the real-world experience of playing in a game, challenged the players with a series of plays one after the other in quick succession while moving down the field. Just like in a real game, substitutions and down time were limited.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes made a pair of noteworthy plays during the period, including a throw on the run to wide receiver Rashee Rice and a rocket of a pass to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster a little bit later.<\/p>\n

The defense impressed during the period, too, as linebacker Drue Tranquill hauled in a diving interception over the middle. Defensive tackle Chris Jones then logged an excellent snap a little later in the drill when he blew up a play with a would-be sack through the middle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Micah Parsons\u2019 trade request and his future with the Cowboys | ESPN<\/p>\n

\n

What led to Parsons\u2019 trade request?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the start of camp, Parsons said he was not frustrated but discouraged. Without any formal negotiations, he finally believed it was necessary to make the request. It was not made lightly. Parsons grew up a Cowboys fan and on draft night in 2021 he willed becoming a Cowboy into fruition \u2014 even after Dallas traded back to No. 12 in a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

Parsons said \u201crepeated shots\u201d led to this decision. At the opening news conference of training camp, owner and general manager Jerry Jones made a flippant remark that even if the Cowboys signed Parsons, it would not guarantee his availability because he \u201ccould get hit by a car.\u201d<\/p>\n

After several fans yelled, \u201cPay Micah!\u201d last week, Jones called those remarks \u201cfaint\u201d in comparison to what he heard from fans in the Lamb talks last year. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said of the fans\u2019 chant, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change anything. We want to pay Micah, too. He\u2019s got to want to be paid, too.\u201d \u2014 Archer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

McConkey Not Trying \u2018To Win Super Bowl Today,\u2019 But WR Has Given Chargers Title Aspirations | FOX Sports<\/p>\n

\n

But at the heart of any meaningful, consistent success this season on offense for the Chargers will be the continued development of the symbiotic relationship between Herbert and McConkey.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I got here last year, we\u2019ve been building that,\u201d McConkey said. \u201cThe goal is to just get better, and better and better. Coach Harbaugh\u2019s been talking about gradually building something and then, boom! It takes off. So, that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. We\u2019re not going to try and win the Super Bowl today, but it\u2019s a start.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chiefs Training Camp: Andy Reid on Josh Simmons, offensive line<\/p>\n

\n

General manager Brett Veach did so by first signing former San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Jaylon Moore and then drafting Ohio State\u2019s Josh Simmons with the No. 32 overall pick.<\/p>\n

A week into camp… well, so far, so good.<\/p>\n

Simmons has taken every rep at the starting left tackle position, while Moore has rotated with Kingsley Suamataia at left guard and Jawaan Taylor at right tackle. In the Super Bowl, the Chiefs seemed to be out of viable starters. Right now, it feels like they have one too many.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare for the spotlight of an NFL training camp to surround a single offensive lineman, but there is no doubt that Simmons is getting all the attention in St. Joseph.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s getting a lot of reps, which I think is important for a rookie,\u201d said Reid of Simmons on Friday. \u201cSo he\u2019s been in there and consistently showing up every day and working and not taking plays off or any of that. He\u2019s a worker. He\u2019s willing to do it. It\u2019s just a matter of, \u2018You gotta keep on going.\u2019 But he\u2019s done a nice job with what we\u2019ve asked him. He\u2019s working on all the fundamentals and techniques, so that\u2019s a challenge for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simmons silenced many doubters when he progressed enough in his injury rehab to be a full, healthy participant during organized team activities (OTAs) \u2014 and now, training camp. Only 10 months removed from a torn patellar tendon, Simmons says the bulk of the rehab is done; he and Kansas City\u2019s training staff have shifted their focus to maintenance work.<\/p>\n

Rather than returning home to San Diego (or spending time at Ohio State) during the break between OTAs and training camp, Simmons stayed in Kansas City to keep his momentum going.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
