Coffee with the Chiefs – Josh Mauga stepping up

Good morning, Addicts! Hopefully everyone enjoyed their 4th of July and still has all 10 of their fingers. It was a good time here in Chicago, as your editor adopted a dog (I’m growing up and stuff) and watched the fireworks with the pup from the apartment. Needless to say, it will be a holiday I won’t soon forget, and hopefully yours was every bit as memorable.

Moving on to the football side of things, here is the latest news on the Kansas City Chiefs:

"The Chiefs need to identify a swing tackle in training camp and have plenty of versatile offensive linemen to choose from, including Stephenson, Jeff Allen, whose natural position is tackle, or Sherrod, who worked at right and left tackle during OTAs and minicamp."
