Jeremiyah Love? Rueben Bain? How NFL Combine may change Chiefs’ plans: Podcast

With the Chiefs set for the No. 9 overall pick in the draft, they got an up-close look at pro football’s top prospects at the NFL Combine.

Running back Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame, and edge rushers Rueben Bain of Miami and David Bailey of Texas Tech drew plenty of attention. But will any of them be available when the Chiefs’ pick comes around?

On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR, columnist Sam McDowell and beat writer Pete Sweeney, who covered the combine in Indianapolis, share their thoughts on the top players and what the Chiefs could be thinking with free agency starting next week.

Also, as the FIFA World Cup approaches and Kansas City braces for six games, we speak with a fan of a team playing and staying here. Bas Rol lives in Amsterdam and is a huge fan of the Dutch national team.

Rol — who used to live in Kansas City and still cheers on the Chiefs and Royals — breaks down what it’s like to be part of the Orange Army and Chiefs Kingdom.
