Chiefs

Chiefs GM John Dorsey explained their approach towardsย developing raw NFL prospects.

โ€œI think what they have is they have a degree of athleticism that you look for in that particular position,” Dorsey said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. โ€œAnd those were very unique traits. We have coaches that can develop these. And I think what youโ€™re doing is youโ€™re going into (offseason practice) and training camp now, and youโ€™re trying to see if thereโ€™s a steady degree of improvement as we move along here.

โ€œItโ€™s a chance. You may be able to hit one. Weโ€™ll just see what happens as they develop. I said, โ€˜Why not take a shot and see where these guys stand?โ€™ Iโ€™m kind of curious to see, once they get into (offseason practice), how they progress.โ€
