After two Super Bowl runs, Chiefs enjoy rest for mind, body

— During a normal offseason away from the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill can usually be found working out in the gym or running routes on a high school football field. “Just to be able to get my mind off football and Andy Reid’s play calls is good for me.” Hill opted to spend more time with his family this offseason after the Chiefs lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl, taking a vacation to Hawaii and getting engaged to his fiancee on the Fourth of July. “I’d probably say for me personally, I’m such a mental space kind of guy, any time football kicks off I really have no time for anything else,” Mathieu said. “I just try to create that balance in my life, try to give as much time to my family as possible, as much time to my community as possible, because I know once football season gets here it’s hard to get my mind off anything else.” Defensive tackle Chris Jones normally does pilates during the offseason but this year he also added yoga to his routine, cutting back on other workouts to focus on flexibility and mental wellness. That’s two more games than any other team, and along with extra practice time necessitated by back-to-back Super Bowl runs that’s more than a full month of additional work than any other NFL team.
