Report: NFL initially proposed ‘double-digit game’ suspension for Rashee Rice
PRETTY GOOD. DAVE TOBE TOLD US TODAY THAT THE STAFF GRADES THE PLAYERS EVERY SINGLE DAY, WHICH MEANS EVERY SINGLE DAY TRULY COUNTS HERE AT CHIEFS TRAINING CAMP. WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF COMPETITION IN THE WIDE RECEIVER ROOM. ONE GUY THAT THE CHIEFS ADDED LAST YEAR WAS TYQUAN THORNTON, BUT HE WAS BROUGHT ON TO THE PRACTICE SQUAD, SO NOW HE’S COMPETING FOR THE 53 MAN ROSTER. AS SOON AS I GOT OFF THAT FLIGHT, YOU KNOW, I HAD A NEW MINDSET, YOU KNOW, NEW OPPORTUNITY. ANOTHER RECEIVER OUT THERE IS RASHEE RICE. HE MISSED MOST OF LAST SEASON WITH A KNEE INJURY. BUT HE’S BACK OUT THERE AND FEELING GOOD. I FEEL 100%. I’M EXCITED TO BE BACK OUT HERE WITH THE GUYS, BASICALLY BACK WHERE I LEFT OFF AT. SO I MEAN, THE ONLY THING IS, YOU KNOW, GET BACK ON THE FIELD AND JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN DOING WHAT I DO. A LOT OF THESE RECEIVERS ARE ALSO GETTING REPS ON THE KICK RETURN, WHICH WILL DEFINITELY HELP WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING THE 53 MAN ROSTER FROM SAI
