Kansas City Chiefs rookies shine at training camp

The Kansas City Chiefs have placed a strong emphasis on their rookie class during training camp, highlighting players such as defensive back Mansoor Delane and offensive lineman Kahlil Benson. Delane, along with other young defenders, is expected to help fill gaps left by recent trades and departures on the secondary.

Undrafted free agent Kahlil Benson, who joined the Chiefs after a tryout, has quickly risen up the depth chart. He earned first‑team reps at right tackle and received praise from head coach Andy Reid, who noted Benson’s strength, athleticism and work ethic. Veteran center Creed Humphrey also lauded Benson’s hard‑working attitude and physical tools. The coaching staff continues to evaluate the offensive line, with second‑year first‑round pick Josh Simmons holding the left tackle spot and competition ongoing for the right tackle position.

Overall, the Chiefs are using the camp to assess how rookie talent can address needs on both sides of the ball as they prepare for the upcoming season.
