This may just turn out to be a brilliant addition to the Chiefs

I like this guy. I think we're going to be happy with him.

There’s a chance that he’s the best player of all time

I hope he doesn't get fat after escaping British cuisine

His new teeth are so large it will limit the amount of food he can get in his mouth.

Lulz

Let's hope his stomach can take the meat you prepare that's been washed in chlorine and water tainted with Chernobyl like radiation.

it wouldn't be a good offseason without a camp darling that we expect to really contribute! It's probably something I will always fall for.

Dante84 doing God’s work and kicking off a pre-draft player thread. I love it!

Already ordered jerseys for the whole family! Extended family included.

Okay I think it’s pretty safe to say that this guy ****S!!!

He’s making the team if only because it’s a free spot. So it’s thread worthy even if it’s not a drafted player.

I don't care what anyone says, GOD ZAMMIT I LIKE THIS GUY!

He's a long shot, but....

He's clearly a unique talent, he's very young, and he's already in Texas working out with Pat and Stroupe.

Those are great signs.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3SVto020LCg?si=3QRAyU1Lc8YMd9f5" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He had offers from Denver, NYJ and Cleveland, and chose the Chiefs (and skipped meeting with 2 other teams).

After watching the highlights, it looks like he'll also be great at recovering fumbles. With some of the WR we have kept, that could also be a fabulous trait for us.

It's gonna be so cool when he wins rookie of the year and is a first team all pro and a first ballot hall of famer and wins the first Nobel prize for football!!!

He made the first cut. The prized invite to workout with Mahomes in Texas.

My favorite team, check.

Back-to-back champs, check.

Team with the GOAT QB, check.

Seems pretty logical to me.

He's the Tommy Vardell of Peyton Hillis-es mixed with Merril Hoge and Christian McCaffery.

What the god **** is Skyy Moore wearing?

Im pretty sure that's an open invite to everyone on the team. At least I would hope it is. It would be pretty shitty to not allow every skill player to come work out with him and the others.

He better get busy. He may be WR3 after Hollywood and Mr. Swift.

Super Bowl MVP is always reserved for Patrick, BECAUSE MAHOMES

I'd rather be doing that than pretending I know Texas Law.

It was a joke. But, before this is all over LRZ will out lore even the king of them all, Grisby

Bobby Sippio has entered the chat.

YUUUUUUUP (and he's super cute IMHO!)

Zammit, Carl!!!!

Grisby?

You’re better than this, G.

Jesse Haynes aint walking through that door but this dude is.

Boomer Grigsbys grandparents were great.

Too bad he wasn’t able to pick up the mental part of the game.

I see your Bobby Sippio, and raise you Jesse Haynes

Casey Printers is coming in for a look

Ricky Stanzicki says hello

Verran Tucker is out there somewhere absolutely fuming right now

Sean LaChapelle has blocked all of you

Damn it, He's no Rich Scanlon!
:harumph: :shake:



With that kind of speed, we can all hope he gets it! :drool:

Sippio couldn't carry Grigsby water. :p

Grigsby was so great he played two positions …. well kinda.

I've heard Welsh people make English people angry.

I like him already. **** you Womble!

Not really. They can be annoying when they open their gob and drench you in spit by saying something in that ridiculous language they persist with though.

With his size and sports experience, I could see Reid using him in a lot of h back gadget plays.

He might be Bobby sippio….he might be an all star, but for now he’s on my favorite football team and it’s offseason so….crikey. Touchdown machine.

I'm here for all the Kelce laterals.

If he's as fast as they say he might make a few laterals to himself.

Stroupe is a certified Chiefs legend. Any argument?

Hopefully not a Chiefs uniform in a few months.

From yesterday, a recap. LRZ getting some love.

Good interview with the kid. I'm excited to see what he can do. Starting him as a kick return specialist makes perfect sense while they figure out where else he fits.

Can we find some way to draft this 17 year old sumo kid?

<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" data-embed-height="740"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1ckl1nd/highlight_micah_parsons_and_cj_stroud_1on1_drills/">[Highlight] Micah Parsons and CJ Stroud 1-on-1 Drills against a Sumo Wrestler</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dumpsterfirefr/">u/dumpsterfirefr</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/">nfl</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

Dude is stonewalling Parsons like Parsons is a little kid.

Sumo wrestlers are strong AF and are almost impossible to move unless you know the technique and are also fat as shit but somehow incredibly strong.

Nat Geo did a story on Sumo wrestlers, specifically a couple rooks (one was Samoan, the other was a white guy). They train pretty hard in the gym.



That sumo in the clip with Parsons is pretty small as sumos go.

I wonder what the weight difference is, looks like Parsons is giving up 75 pounds, but it’s hard to judge.

Why are we not converting sumos to guards

LZR’s floor is Devin Hester and his ceiling is Barry Sanders

I am very hopeful for this kid. He seems very bright and wanting to do what he can for our beloved Kansas City Chiefs! I wish him nothing but the very best! :thumb:

“When you step into the facility, you just feel like you’re going to win.”

Clark should turn that quote in to the people who run that player survey.

Interesting listen. Thanks.

Sounds like the kid has a good head on his shoulders and isn't coming in all "yo I got this."

You could also tell he was REALLY ****ing pissed at his 40 time.

He seems like a long shot to make the 53 but I would love to see it happen. He's saying all the right things in that interview. Working out with Pat in Texas and spending time on the iPad learning the play book seems like he is putting in all the work he can do so far.

they pulled his international excemption. That means either they think he sucks, no way he’s making the team or any NFL team or they are convinced he’s making the team and see something in him.

His speed seems legit from chatter coming out of the minicamp, and with the way this coaching staff craves speed they will give him a chance.

Let's see what LRZ does in a game before getting too excited

Game? You have 4 months of camp hype to get through first.

The Jesse "The Real Deal" Haynes, Bobby Sippio, Deneric Prince, and Justyn Ross'



Offseason Hero mantle continues

I don't know how the IPP works, does he take up a roster spot on the 53 this year or is he basically 54th on the roster?

See post 63

Why would they do that ? Is there any benefit?

Presumably it means they think he is a strong chance to feature in at minimum practice squad with call ups so are looking to free up the IPP exemption slot to bring in another developmental project.

Really? I hadn’t seen this.

Admittedly this dude was the first I’d heard of it but it seems like a free way to keep an extra dude.

Yeah, Nick Jacobs and Matt Derrick were both raving about how fast he looked and also said he wasn't as raw as they expected. Nick said he's the closest player in terms of build in the legs to Tyreek Hill.

The dude has real pedigree having exceled in another professional sport so I'm not sure I'd just write him off as any random training camp hero.

It will be *so* much fun if he can carve out a role.

Where did you see this?

I hadn't seen this... but apparently, they only get one exception.

https://atozsports.com/kansas-city/c...s-rees-zammit/

Seems like a weird gamble but In Veach I Trust.

Probably just figure that he's closer to relevant than the OT they had under the exemption last season. Don't remember his name, but they carried him on the PS all season last year and that's where that exemption becomes useful.

If they think Rees-Zammit may actually make the squad this year, use the protection on the OT because by all accounts last season, that guy was FAAAAAR away, but incredibly athletic/talented.

Probably just basic resource allocation - one slot, use it on the guy who's less likely to make the team but with a slightly higher ceiling, thus a far better candidate for the international exemption anyway (which wouldn't apply if Rees-Zammit is a roster player)

With the new kickoff rules I would think Louis would be the perfect fit. I am kind of excited to see what he can do because he can fly and is probably tough as nails.

At a minimum he feels like he could be a special teams guy in year one.

If he can be a gunner on punts, do kickoff duty, and return kicks...then he could be a valuable asset for us.

The idea of a 4.35-4.4 guy screaming down on Punt Gods punts is a fun thought.

His 40 was .04 faster than CMC. The rest of his pro day was meh.

We’ll see.
