In the early days of this offseason’s unrestricted free agency, defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi signed a one-year contract to return for his sixth season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaking after Wednesday’s training-camp practice at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Nnadi identified defensive line coach Joe Cullen and his teammates as factors keeping him in Kansas City.
“It feels great,” he declared, “to be around the same group of guys I’ve been working with — from my D-line coach to all my dudes in the locker room. It feels wonderful.”
With the Chiefs defending a Super Bowl win — and widely seen as the league’s best team — Nnadi appreciates the opportunity before him.
