On Monday, the first day of the Chiefs’ offseason training program, Jeremy Maclin and Alex Smith tossed the football around in the team’s indoor facility for the first time, though neither player made much of it in subsequent interviews.
“It was more so just catching, kind of seeing how the rotation (of the ball) comes out,” said Maclin, a wide receiver who signed a five-year, $55 million contract in free agency. “Everything was smooth.”
Still, it was the first of many steps the Chiefs’ big-money quarterback and receiver must take to develop the kind of chemistry it will take to raise the overall explosiveness of the Chiefs’ passing game in 2015.
