It's become an annual tradition for me to make the pilgrimage up to St. Joseph, Missouri, to watch a couple of days of Kansas City Chiefs training camp. Watching highlights online is great, but nothing beats seeing the team practice in person. Seeing the team in action makes it feel like football really is on its way. This year, I went in with a list of different players to watch, but one stood out among all the others—that being first-round pick Josh Simmons.
Yes, I was excited about Simmons’ upside when KC drafted him. Yes, I had high hopes for him once he got fully healthy and even thought that could come at some point during his rookie season.
