After a season ending injury in the final preseason game as a rookie, second-year WR Byron Pringle has been thriving and taking first-team reps at Chiefs OTA’s. One of my favorites from the 2018 NFL Draft is seemingly ready for a breakout.
Another good nugget - Toub on WR Byron Pringle on special teams: "He's really looking good right now. He like took it to another level. We're really excited, the way he looks right now."
Two wide receivers are standing out, and they are Byron Pringle and Cody Thompson. Pringle is speedy, looking to be back in full health since his hernia surgery last year. Pains me to say it (��), but I like Thompson more than Jamal Custis right now at OTAs.
Byron Pringle is the young Chiefs wide receiver taking advantage of the extra practice snaps afforded by the absences of Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. “He’s played fast,’’ wide receivers coach Greg Lewis said. “He’s played physical and he’s plucking... https://t.co/j8agJgY7FZ

I prefer to leave the expended can as bait for my family members. The look of disappointment on their faces when they realize the can is empty is priceless. [Reply]

When you have a God at QB, everyone has a chance to look signifcantly better. Case and point: Chris Conley.
1 TD in 3 years pre-Patrick Mahomes era.
1 year with Patrick Mahomes: 5 TD’s
Charcandrick West shouldn’t even be on a roster anymore and Pat was out there in Seattle making that guy look good. [Reply]
Lovett is intriguing, but since he's converting from QB, is he really going to be ready to play TE this season? I assume that he will show enough in camp to make it impossible to sneak him on to the PS and stash him there. But I bet they he is on the inactive list every week if he does make the roster, much like they did last year with McKenzie. I wonder if they would like to also have him as the 3rd QB on the team and save a roster spot that way. They only went with 2 last year, and if we are down to QB3 we're screwed anyway, so why not?

Also think this Lovett guy could be a decent complimentary weapon at TE.
I called QB-to-TE convert John Lovett a dark horse to watch at No. 2 tight end, and the day-six workout only reaffirmed it (remember, they're not in pads, but Lovett made a few tough catches Thursday). He'll be a training camp player everybody will love to watch.
Another thing. I noticed that Sherman is working with the tight ends. I wonder what's up with that? He played at tight end a couple of times last year. Maybe they're planning to increase his role with more of that. He deserves it. Fullback is a position of the past. But Sherman has always been a great team player and a stud on special teams. Not to mention, he did play great in the probowl. If he can get a few more snaps at tight end, I say go for it. [Reply]

Yep. 3rd round of the 2005 draft, Vermeil's last season.
Speaking of DC, he is 37 years old and makes $3.15 million this season. I think it may be time for us to look to a younger and cheaper option. If not this year, very soon. [Reply]

They better be sure though cause a few shanks by a punter or missing and letting a great returner run wild can be concerning. [Reply]
