Coming off their third straight Super Bowl appearance, the Chiefs don't plan to end their dominance anytime soon. Led by three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, this squad has a strong blend of talented veterans and intriguing newcomers. The rookies will be the most interesting part of this year's camp, with the team hoping that some of these guys can contribute immediately.
Here's a look at a few players to keep an eye on this year at camp:
The Chiefs' biggest issue heading into the 2025 offseason was fixing the offensive line. That began with the left tackle spot, which is arguably the second-most important position in football and was a huge weak spot for K.C. in 2024. The Chiefs took a flier on Simmons in the first round of the 2025 draft, hoping he could overcome his patellar tendon injury sustained during his final year at Ohio State. Both the team and Simmons have been adamant that he is healthy and ready to go, so the question is whether he can live up to his massive potential and quickly be the answer for the defending AFC champions.
Every year at camp, Chiefs fans fall in love with a receiver. This year, that receiver might be Royals, who was selected by K.C. in the fourth round of the 2025 draft. Royals boasts a nice blend of size and speed, and was projected by many to be drafted much earlier than when he was selected. With Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown holding down the top three WR spots, the fourth spot is wide open for a guy like Royals to jump in and take it.
The Chiefs needed more juice at edge rusher this offseason, so they selected Gillotte out of Louisville in round three. A high-motor player with tremendous athleticism, Gillotte could make for a nice rotational piece in his first year if he picks things up quickly in camp.
