Coffee with the Chiefs – Marcus Peters stands alone

Good morning, Addicts! The Kansas City Chiefs have wrapped up their first OTA session of 2016 but have one coming in each of the next two weeks. In other words, we won’t be missing the team for too long.

Meanwhile, it is time to celebrate. This is Friday and the Friday ahead of Memorial Day weekend, no less. Many of you are likely calling out of work as we speak to get out and party with a nice beverage or two and some barbequed glory. Yet, before you go anywhere, take a moment and read up on the Chiefs.

Here is the news you need to know…

Other corners looking at Marcus Peters with awe – Adam Teicher of ESPN

"Playing time is available for Russell and the other rookies because Peters is the Chiefs’ only established cornerback. The group competing for playing time also includes Phillip Gaines, a starter early last season before tearing his ACL, and Steven Nelson, a third-round pick last season."

Chiefs counting on continuity to increase offensive output – Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star

"The NFL, by nature, is rife with turnover. That is especially true at the bottom of the roster, where players are viewed as inexpensive and replaceable. Yet the Chiefs remain largely intact from last year, especially at the skill positions, as their top eight rushers and top seven receivers return."

Dontari Poe, all 346 pounds of him, tackles yoga – Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star

"Yes, a growing number of Chiefs players are “yogis,” and a handful of them spoke about it Wednesday after completing their second day of organized team activities, or OTAs. Besides Poe, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and cornerback Marcus Peters have spent some time in a Vinyasa, Ashtanga or slow burn class."
