Reid, Dorsey put friendship to work in first draft with Chiefs

Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid don’t always agree — who does? — but they see football through the same lens. These are sure men who take their jobs seriously but not themselves, and maybe they like a little bit of that in their players. Be confident in yourself, while still knowing you need to get better.

Tyler Bray intriguing as a future Chiefs quarterback

Tennessee’s Tyler Bray has so many of the qualities NFL scouts like to see in a starting quarterback that he could have been drafted: a big arm, classic size (6-feet-6, 232 pounds) and plenty of college production. The Chiefs signed him after the draft despite his negatives: lack of maturity and poor work habits.

Chiefs’ inside linebacker competition should be interesting

One of the most interesting competitions that should develop at training camp is at one inside linebacker position, the spot next to Derrick Johnson. For now, veteran Akeem Jordan is the starter. But also don’t underestimate what the Chiefs think of rookie Nico Johnson (pictured), a fourth-round draft pick from Alabama.

Chiefs sign K-State’s Wilson

The Chiefs have signed fullback Braden Wilson of Kansas State, the second of the team’s two sixth-round draft picks. Wilson is the fourth of Kansas City’s eight selections to sign with the club.

Chiefs' OTA practice Tuesday at Arrowhead

The offseason practice schedule picked up for the Chiefs on Tuesday, when they held the first of three full-squad sessions this week. Quarterback Alex Smith and receiver Dwayne Bowe (pictured) practiced, and lineman Branden Albert reported as expected.

Chiefs add former Nevada head coach as consultant

The Chiefs added another offensive specialist to their coaching staff, hiring former University of Nevada coach Chris Ault as a consultant. Ault is known as a guru of the pistol offensive formation, which features option plays. Colin Kaepernick was among the quarterbacks who played for Ault at Nevada.

Chiefs sign third-round pick Knile Davis

Running back Knile Davis, selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the NFL Draft last month, signed with the Chiefs. The Chiefs are hoping the 227-pound Davis can be a power back to complement the speed and big-play ability of Jamaal Charles.

Chiefs rookie Knile Davis works on limiting fumbles

The one constant at the Chiefs rookie camp that ended Sunday was the sight of running back Knile Davis carrying the ball high and close to his body. He was a frequent fumbler in college at Arkansas and might have been drafted higher had he not put the ball on the ground so often.

Chiefs’ Catapano hopes to change perception of Ivy League players

Chiefs seventh-round draft pick Mike Catapano understands the odds he’s fighting as he attempts to carve out a career in the NFL. Two weeks ago, he became the first player from Princeton to be selected in the NFL Draft since 2001. And while Ivy League graduates are generally well-respected, it’s not usually for their abilities on a football field.

Chiefs’ Tamba Hali is a doubly grateful man on Mother’s Day

A Chiefs football celebrity stays humble because of not one, but two, mothers. One is the woman who gave him life and protected him during an African civil war, and the other is the woman who helped a frightened African boy navigate a new culture and grow up to be a NFL linebacker.

Seahawks' Irvin suspended for four games

SEATTLE - Bruce Irvin, Seattle's first-round pick a year ago, has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, the team announced Friday.
