ten. Patrick Mahomes – QB

Grade: A + | School: Texas Tech Where Ross's career had landed even before he stepped out of the door, Mahomes was more successful than anything Andy Reid could have done. The young passer has had the opportunity to learn and develop his skills within a qualified team led by a quarter-veteran playing to the height of his abilities. When he received the keys to Arrowhead Stadium in his second season, Mahomes was eliminated, producing a 5,000-yard campaign and 50 touchdowns that earned him the MVP title and helped propel the club. The Chiefs at their first appearance Sunday at the championship in 25 years. Mahomes' numbers will almost certainly decline in the third year. Yet he could again finish the season as the best quarterback of the NFL. He has all the necessary characteristics, all offensive weapons and a head coach who constantly develops unique and creative game plans. Hard to see anything other than a curse of the video game blocking another monster season for # 15.

Kansas City Chiefs: Already the NFL's most dangerous major offensive, the Chiefs have added even more speed and explosiveness to the second-round catcher position Hardman mole, which displayed outstanding angular velocity by scoring coins in consecutive weeks. Do not be outdone, scatback sixth round Darwin Thompson presented a set of intriguing dual threat skills that could well push veteran Carlos Hyde off the list. On the other side of the ball, safety ballhawking Juan Thornhill was a camp feeling in its own right.

NFL pre-season takeaway: what we learned from AFC West in the second week | NBC Sports

Last week, I explained how it was absurd that the Chiefs were able to pair rookie Mecole Hardman with an offense that already included Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins, not to mention the acting NFL player, Patrick Mahomes.

We all know that it was the other side of the ball that prevented Kansas City from coming back last season and prevented the Chiefs from facing the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game.

During the off-season, head coach Andy Reid sent defense coordinator Bob Sutton to pack his bags and hired Steve Spagnuolo to strengthen the unit. Breeland Speaks, who played Sutton's linebacker last season, had already scored 3-4 in the 3-3 4-4 mark. , something he was very good at playing Ole Miss.

Speaks seemed much more engaged while playing a defensive end in pre-season. He took a sack in the Chiefs' first game before suffering a knee injury in their loss to the Steelers. It seems that he should not miss much time in the regular season, and his evolution shows that Spagnuolo's pattern change could pay off.

Carlos Hyde, Kansas City Chiefs: Damien Williams is currently the clubhouse leader for RB1, followed by Hyde, Darrel Williams and rookie Darwin Thompson. Coach Andy Reid hinted that his attack could include a regression approach by committee. So look for Hyde to have a lot of opportunities as a physical runner, especially in short distance situations and on the goal line. Hyde is also revealed to be an asset in the passing game (during his days with the 49ers). The potential is there for Hyde to be a playmaker for the Chiefs offense, and I see him accumulating more reps as the season progresses.

This is the perfect time for Tanoh Kpassagnon to become the one that the chefs proposed to become | SB Nation

With a new coaching staff, a new stratagem and an open defensive final just waiting to be claimed, Tanoh Kpassagnon could not hope for a better chance of turning his career this season. With as much talent as he has had over the years and with as many physical gifts as he has been blessed with, I think it's the perfect time for Kpassagnon to become the player for whom he had been initially trained.

In fact, it reminds me a little physically Danielle Hunter, and the truth is that, even if I do not predict that Kpassagnon will publish figures similar to those of Hunter, I think he can play much the same kind of parts.

NFL players who could face lost wages before the season | Washington Post

Kansas City Chiefs Security Daniel Sorensen: The Chiefs love Sorenson, but they must continue to look for ways to free up money for some of their best young players, such as Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones. Rookie Josh Thornhill wins defensive coordinator Steve Spagnoula and may well start with nearby safety post Tyrann Mathieu – thus making Sorensen a $ 4 million help for the next two years. The move would release about $ 2.7 million from the salary cap. He has two years left on a $ 16 million four-year contract.

Although Clark is buying premium, General Manager Brett Veach has admitted that he has adapted his full plan for the off season. This involved swapping linebacker Dee Ford with the San Francisco 49ers and releasing linebacker Justin Houston to allow him Clark

Spot by Carlos Hyde in Jeopardy | Yahoo Sports

Nate Taylor, of track and field, has left Hyde out of his roster of 53 players each of the past two weeks. Hyde has a lean 25 yards on seven runs (3.6 YPC) with one touchdown and one fumble. Hyde ran with the first team offensive this past weekend in Pittsburgh, but missed his only run with this group. And despite his time of 6 '/ 229, Hyde has imposed no other number of missed tackles. He is 29 next month. Hyde is already approaching the end of the line. The fact that he does not play with special teams also plays against him. Coach Andy Reid spoke to Hyde earlier this month, but has since moved this hype to Thompson. We saw Hyde find himself in the midst of the whimsical playoffs, but the whole call was that Hyde was actually part of the team and played a role in that explosive offense. If he does not even get to week 1, his value is obviously zero. Hyde has become too risky to be considered before the end of the projects. He must have a big third pre-season game, and that might not even be enough.

Melvin Gordon holdout should wear in the season | NFL.com

Ian Rapoport, an NFL network insider, said Gordon's continuation is expected to continue through the season, according to informed sources.

Rapoport added that the contract negotiations had not progressed as hoped, and he would continue to train elsewhere in the near future.

Gordon, who is expected to earn $ 5.6 million in 2019, wants an agreement allowing him to be among the top contenders. Previously, Rapoport announced that the Chargers were offering a $ 10 million contract per season and were not willing to go higher. At this point, Gordon has rejected this offer.

Earlier this week, Gordon told ESPN that he was "waiting for the Chargers" call. It seems that he will wait longer.

"We look forward to the Labor Day clippings that will take place where another group of players will be available," said Commissioner Oliver Luck. "Things went as well as expected."

The next step will be to finalize and publish a rule that, according to the league, will offer a reinvented football game, with unique extra points, a modified configuration for extra time and a shorter timer to speed up the tempo.

A draft is planned for October, followed by a mini camp in December and a training camp in January 2020.

Charvarius Ward and Herb Miller fight for a corner half role

Most thought that Ward Charvarius was clearly the leader from at least the first four weeks of the season. This may still be the case, but the photos taken by Herb Miller this week show that Steve Spagnuolo has not finished tinkering yet.

The length of Ward and his speed in a straight line are going to be determining for the limit, because it gives to Spagnuolo a half of corner in which he can have confidence to carry a catcher vertically on the ground. However, Ward's difficulties with the click and closing down of the receiver will limit the types of programs that Spagnuolo can perform.
