One for the money… two for the show. And that’s right where we’re at… it’s day 2 of the Kansas City Chiefs rookie training camp. I’ll be keeping you up-to-date with the latest twitter comments of the many writers who are permitted to be there as these practices are closed to the public.
So, let the fun and games begin!
QBs, rookies and select veterans are set to take the field for their second practice today at #ChiefsCamp.

Contrary to what is floating out there, the Chiefs are not holding a press conference to discuss parking changes, per team spokesman.

Three seperate TV stations requested to talk to Chiefs team president Mark Donovan about the changes. Not a press conference.

Top pass of the day at #ChiefsCamp went from Alex Smith to Tyreek Hill deep down the right sideline on a hitch-n-go. Result was 80-yard TD.

Moments later, Hill ran similar route but cut it off, which created about 10 yards of separation as DB bailed to protect deep. 15-yard gain.

#Chiefs rookie DB Tre Jones left practice early today, was given ride up the hill on a cart. Jones sat on passenger side.

Chiefs rookie WR Tyreek Hill continues to flash his blistering speed. Key is how he handles himself when pads come on, contact allowed.

Chiefs CB Tre Jones suffered a hamstring injury, per team spokesman.

“As a leader, I look up to him.”

Add CB KeiVarae Russell to the list of Chiefs players raving about WR Tyreek Hill’s speed.

“I’ve never seen somebody that fast.”@Keivarae1 on Tyreek Hill.
Russell then apologized to college teammate Will Fuller.
