JuJu Smith-Schuster is excited about his prospects in Kansas City.

One day into training camp, he spoke of lining up in different positions on the field and running more routes in one practice than he did in a season at Pittsburgh. Will he become Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target?

We discuss Smith-Schuster and other Chiefs topics on today’s SportsBeat KC podcast with beat writers Jesse Newell and Herbie Teope, along with columnist Sam McDowell.

Also, on the first day of veterans’ participation, we discuss who got the call at left tackle, cornerback and other positions of uncertainty.
