The Kansas City Chiefs are a little over a week away from opening the preseason as their coaches continue to evaluate the team’s roster. The long hot days at Missouri Western State University have been filled with intense competition, bonding, and challenges to get the best out of each player the Chiefs are hosting at their training camp.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has earned a reputation for running a challenging camp throughout his hall-of-fame-worthy career. While speaking with the media on Wednesday, he addressed several topics, including his thoughts on the progress of wide receiver Justyn Ross.
“[2022] was a redshirt year that he [Justyn Ross] probably didn’t want to have right with the injury. But he’s done a nice job,” said Reid, “He had a good off-season. And then he’s worked his tail off here. And he just needs to keep doing that. You know, it’s how you answer the bell every day and push through it. So, he’s got the right mindset to do that.”
Reid has also earned a powerful reputation amongst his players for being supportive and not giving up on them when they are down. He’s helped resurrect careers offering second chances in the past and hopes that a healthy Ross could be the latest success story in his system.
