ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Training camp continued Friday, where fans were able to enjoy calmer temperatures.

With the hope of offensive line improvement, fans are especially excited to see rookie left tackle Josh Simmons play.

I think bringing in the talent at left tackle is going to be huge,” Chiefs fan Joshua Graham said. “Protecting the blindside is a must… It’s a talented rookie draft class.”

The rookie class includes a wide receiver in Jalen Royals who has stood out to fans early on at training camp.

“Jalen Royals was a pretty good player in college and he’s a big steal (in the draft),” Landon Shelton said. “I think he’ll be pretty good.”

A deep wide receiver room filled with talent has young fans like John Aiello thinking about the 2019 receiver corps.

“I miss the wide receiver corps from 2019, wish we had that back,” Aiello said. “We can’t, but I feel like we’re starting to get our wide receivers back together.”

Training camp is the time for rookies to learn and improve ahead of a grueling season. For long-time fan Graham, he said he has patience for the young guys to get up to speed.

“I have a lot of patience in knowing that (Andy) Reid is going to do things proper,” Graham said. “They have phenomenally drafted and bought people in that they know fill spots and slots in their roles.”

Not only is training camp the time for rookies to impress coaches, but it is a place to make memories with fans.

For Susie Boyer, she has her eyes on a rookie who gave her a special moment after practice.

“Number 97, Ashton Gillotte, he’s just a nice person,” Boyer said. “He came over and talked to everybody, and I just felt like that is who I want to watch.
