SportsBeat KC: Chiefs’ Combine week, and why Lamar Jackson hates facing Mahomes

The Star

The NFL Combine is over and it’s on to the next NFL offseason thing: free agency.

Kansas City Star beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell spent last week in Indianapolis talking to prospects, team personnel and agents and share their thoughts on this new episode of our SportsBeat KC daily podcast.

Also, KC hosted the annual Committee of 101 Awards Saturday. It’s the city’s salute to pro football and brought such stars as Lamar Jackson, Stephon Gilmore and Michael Thomas to town. The 50th annual event also saluted the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs

Hear what Jackson and Ravens coach John Harbaugh had to say about their AFC rivals.
