It’s the last week of workouts for the Chiefs before they take a short summer break, and on today’s SportsBeat KC podcast you’ll hear from three players, starting with tight end Travis Kelce.

It’s been a busy offseason for Kelce. He hosted Saturday Night Live, joined teammates and coaches for a White House visit and earlier this week threw out the first pitch at a Royals game.

But Kelce’s all business when it comes to football.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire began last year as the Chiefs’ starting running back. But he wasn’t on the active roster for the Super Bowl. He shares his feelings and motivation for this season.

Defensive end George Karlaftis came on strong at the end of his rookie season. He explains how the game slowed down for him.
