Chiefs rookies have opportunities to seize in St. Joe

The Kansas City Chiefs don’t have a massive number of starting roles up for grabs at training camp this year, but there will be key opportunities for the entire rookie draft class that reported to Missouri Western State University on Friday.

During today’s edition of Everything Else, we discussed how everyone from Mansoor Delane to Garrett Nussmeier has something to prove or a question to answer in camp, and why those answers will be so relevant for the 2026 Chiefs.

If you’re looking for more pre-camp content, we have you covered over on Chiefs On SI.

For more excellent Chiefs content, check out Tucker D. Franklin’s latest magnum opus: a look back at the Chiefs’ improbable 2023 season and the Super Bowl run that followed. It’s some of Tucker’s best work and a great way to get into the football headspace as camp gets going.

You can also get your copy of Jordan’s brand-new poetry collection, ESCAPE ROOM, which Tucker and I have been enjoying for the last week.
