Speaking of rookies…

The one rookie corner that stood out against the Seahawks was 6th round pick D.J. White. Out of Georgia Tech, White got some early playing time and made the most of it. When the ball was in the air, White had himself consistently in a good position to make a play. The rumor was the Chiefs may have gotten a potential steal here.

How about Chris Jones? Is he a freak or what? The kid was bullying interior offensive lineman in his first pro game. Kansas City is extremely deep on the defensive line, making me believe more and more that Dorsey will let Poe walk in 2017. Dadi Nicolas was also very impressive, even if the level of competition wasn’t great. There is definitely some serious upside there as well, and with mentors like Hali, DJ, and Houston, the Chiefs might just be able to harness it.

Tyreek Hill impressions

Yeah, he’s fast. There were no eye popping plays in his first real action, but it is fairly obvious that Hill can move. Like DAT, with the ball in his hands, the possibilities are endless. Looking forward to seeing how he looks in his second game this weekend.
