Thompson showing flashes of the other 25 to previously wear that number with his jump cut and acceleration of it. If he can do that in games, he will excite a lot of fans. #Chiefs

If he isn’t yet, #Chiefs RB Darwin Thompson should be on your radar. Quick, shifty, and despite his size is showing ability to pass-block, a part of it that sometimes keeps inexperienced RBs out of the lineup early. I think he’s going to be a weapon and will push for snaps.

Y'all back off my boy. I've been a Fields Stan for a bit (going back to the CP Mock).

I'm still not sure what compelled the Chiefs to take Fenton in the 6th over Fields. I get that he has a ceiling to him due to his size, but his coverage skills are top notch.

Relax O.City

#Chiefs RT Mitchell Schwartz, who left practice early yesterday, is considered day-to-day with back spasms, I’m told. Doesn’t appear to be a concern.

Can Fields play outside though? I'm not saying he can't I just have no clue if that's what they think he can do or what?

I already posted it, i'm fine. :-)

If Fields is our Chris Harris Jr, Veach deserves a statue.

He could be.

I’m hoping Fields makes Fuller expendable next year. I saw that Fields has top end straight line speed, but goddamn that guy has quick feet.

He could push for snaps in the slot this year. I really think we could have something in him.

We haven’t talked about him much, but Thompson seems to be making noise as well.

Sounds like he’s killing it today.

"I get that he has a ceiling..."

He's probably ill-suited to play outside, yes.

But SCB has effectively become a starting position these days and in many ways its actually harder to play than out wide. A guy like Fields doesn't get to use the boundary as a 12th defender and has a lot of jet wash to deal with in the middle of the field.

Meanwhile I'm not sure Fenton can play - period.

So if you have a guy like Fields that has so many traits you're looking for in a solid SCB, what the hell are you doing letting him go undrafted? I think they got awfully lucky here because I think the kids a player. My only concern is his focus - there are a lot of whispers about him being something of a space cadet at Clemson. Then again, there were others who said there were times that he was the key defender on that defense in that a focused Fields would take them up another notch.

What's up with Fenton? Thats a guy we just don't hear his name called. EVER.
[Reply]

You better get back on the field Dieter bc this guy is looking really good so far.

Cody Thompson has been working people in one-on-one’s today. #Chiefs

Offense hasn’t had much success running on the 1st or 2nd team defense. They are ruthless and holding the line of scrimmage.

Fenton has a shot to make it mainly because he's played every DB spot on the field so if they come out of this hating all the backup safeties he could make it because of that.
[Reply]

I just had to go search his name to make sure he wasn't injured.

The only news I can find on him is that evidently Hill torched his ass at some point (not surprising, happens to the best of 'em). But like you said, it's almost complete radio silence out there on him.

He's playing but all we're hearing about with the young guys is Wade and Fields. That cannot bode well for Fenton.
