With most of Kansas City Chiefs training camp taking place behind closed doors, the normal flow of information has been absent. That leads to greater focus than usual on the information we do receive via press conferences with the coaching staff and players.
One name that has come up repeatedly in pressers is third-year linebacker Ben Niemann. Primarily deployed as a dime linebacker in 2018 and 2019, Niemann is looking to carve out a bigger role for himself in 2020. Linebacker Anthony Hitchens recognized a shift in Niemann’s approach and contribution thus far in camp as well.
