Chiefs legend Derrick Thomas was one of the initial founders of the program, which continued with the 2016 class of rookies outside Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
“Combining with Betty Brown and everybody at Third and Long gives us the opportunity to carry on the legacy of Derrick and everything that he started here,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. “It gives our rookies a chance to see what it means to be a Chief and the responsibility that you take on being a Chief - that you give back to this community.”
Chris Jones, the Chiefs’ second-round pick in 2016, relished the opportunity to help.
