The first day of the Kansas City Chiefs training camp for rookies and first year guys has officially come to an end. So, let’s take a look back over all the quotes and note shared by players and writers who were actually there.
“Today’s practice observations include a Jamaal Charles update and a full roster of the 30” -Pete Sweeney
These are from B.J. Kissel:
“One goal” 
-Keivarae Russell
“I played with [Marquise] Goodwin in Buffalo & I haven’t seen anything like this. He’s quick & fast.” -Mike Williams about Tyreek Hill
WR Mike Williams also made a nice catch in the red zone. Good to see him on the field after missing OTAs and minicamp w/ hamstring injury.
“This is an offense that he can be very effective in.” ~ Andy Reid on WR Mike Williams
“I think I might be better.” Williams, who stressed he doesn’t want to seem overconfident, likes where he’s at compared to early in career.
“We’re excited about him. The more reps he gets the better he is.” ~Andy Reid on rookie QB Kevin Hogan.
Phillip Gaines said there’s no pain in his knee anymore, but it’s just about getting the stiffness out.
Jamaal Charles was placed on the PUP list.
“He’s on track.” – Andy Reid on Jamaal Charles. Said it’s not a setback (PUP list) but they’re just being careful.
Phillip Gaines was on the field for the start of 7-on-7 drills. Moved well. Probably the most significant individual story of the day.
Rookie defensive back Eric Murray had a couple of nice pass breakups today….

From Sam Mellinger
Chris Jones sounds like a good personality. He was all smiles answering questions from media.
“I don’t want to jinx myself, I don’t want to hype myself,” says Chiefs receiver Mike Williams, who also said he’s better than ever.

Terez Paylor
Chiefs Phillip Gaines is eager to have the first crack at replacing Sean Smith
Andy Reid said Gaines will have first crack at the #2 position.
Gaines said he has full confidence in his knee.
Chiefs WR Mike Williams feels primed for a redemptive year.
Williams stood out for the Bucs from 2010 to 2012.
Now healthy after a hamstring injury, Williams is more focused.

Adam Teicher
No. 15 is wide receiver Mike Williams… practiced this morning as the Chiefs began a three-day minicamp for rookies, quarterbacks and selected injured veterans. Williams, signed by the Chiefs in the offseason, hadn’t practiced with his new team because of a hamstring injury. Williams, who caught 193 passes and scored 23 touchdowns for the Bucs from 2010 through 2012, is trying to resurrect his career.

Adam Schefter
Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro safety Eric Berry is expected to miss most, if not all, of the preseason, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Adam Teicher
This isn’t negotiating ploy by Berry.Nothing to negotiate. He either takes the Chiefs’ one-year offer and plays or doesn’t take it and sits
Teicher was asked: “does he still get the 11+ million dollars if he sits?”
Teicher: “No.”
I agree with those thinking Berry will sign at some point. But dangerous to think he will do that because Bowe did that a few years ago.

Jeffri Chadiha
“They’ve got everything needed to win a championship.” ~on the Chiefs.
