Chiefs working out pair of undrafted rookie tight ends

The Kansas City Chiefs have a pair of new tight ends working to provide a strong impression at rookie minicamp: Jake Briningstool, who played at Clemson, and Jared Casey, who many fans will remember from his time playing just down the road in Lawrence for the Kansas Jayhawks.

While both players are competing for the same snaps and position on the roster, the Chiefs formally signed Brinningstool to a free-agent contract, while Casey is competing in a minicamp tryout.

Aside from actually being signed to the team, another reason to think Briningstool may have the inside track to make the team is that he received a call from head coach Andy Reid personally recruiting him to Kansas City.
