I was curious where all of the active roster players came from. This excludes some guys like Thornhill who are out on injury, so it may overweight 2019 as some players were replaced midseason. But look at the 2019 acquisitions. It's pretty amazing. Almost half of the team right now is in their first year with the Chiefs, and over 2/3rds are in their first or second year. This is Veach's team, though with some props to a really strong veteran core from pre-Veach.

I'm unable to start threads. Here's a sweet copy of the entire SB IV. Buck & Summeral on the call. Mostly colorized & Hank Stram's classic ramblings dubbed in. Much praise to Dave Volsky & his YouTube channel. I can't even post links. Search YouTube Dave Volsky Super Bowl IV. [Reply]

Spags, Daly, House, Madison.
Honey Badger, Clark, Pennel, Suggs. Okafor and Ogbah too, pre-injury.
Ward (2018), Fenton...
We're not in Miami without that defensive do-over.
Yeah I get that but we’ve had teams with elite players in the playoffs and still lost. This whole organization now revolves around Mahomes and getting him to as many SBs as possible. That’s what I mean by built in 2017 [Reply]
Damien Wilson didn't impress me early (but you could say that about most of our defense tbh) but he's played much better the 2nd half of the season imo. Playing pretty well against the run. [Reply]
