  Chiefs | Coach believes several rookies can make impact    Fri Jun 7, 06:57 PM

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he believes OT Eric Fisher, TE Travis Kelce, RB Knile Davis, LB Nico Johnson and CB Sanders Commings can have an impact on the team this season.

Footballguys view: The Chiefs are going to rely on those rookie at varying degrees this season. Fisher should begin the season as the starter at right tackle. Kelce could end up winning the starting TE job over Tony Moeaki in training camp. Davis gives the team a big back with speed who can give Jamaal Charles a few breathers in 2013. Johnson and Commings will be rotational players on defense.

  Chiefs | Sign two draft picks    Thu Jun 6, 05:12 PM
