Chiefs hope latest rookie class can produce the same way as last year’s bunch
Associated Press— Rashee Rice spent every morning this past summer huddling with Shane Buechele, the former Texas quarterback-turned-backup to Patrick Mahomes, trying to get a grasp on the telephone book-thick playbook of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid. “Just everything seemed like it would work out.” Now it’s up to Rice and the rest of a new rookie class to do the same thing. “Every day I’m going to be meeting with Shane in his dorm to go over plays before the next day.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Fourth-round pick Chamarri Conner and seven-rounder Nic Jones, meanwhile, can thank last year’s superb rookie class that solidified the Kansas City defensive backfield for their ability to slowly get acclimated to the professional game. “I’m feeling great right now,” said Pacheco, adding that his goal for this season is to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing.
