It was only a preseason game but the Kansas City Chiefs’ running back Cyrus Gray has already started to prove his doubters wrong. Gray led the Chiefs’ ground attack against the Arizona Cardinals in the first game of Kansas City’s preseason schedule.
Gray rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries and scored a touchdown to lead all Kansas City rushers. He did most of his damage in the fourth quarter to help the Chiefs put the game away. Gray displayed the speed to turn the corner and some ability to break tackles against the Cardinals.
Just as he did in college, he ran hard between the tackles and showed the patience to wait for holes to develop. He displayed a nice burst on his seven yard touchdown run.
Gray has consecutive 1,000 yard rushing seasons at Texas A&M and ran a 4.41 in the 40 at the NFL Combine. He dropped all the way to the sixth round of the 2012 draft because of injury concerns. Gray suffered a shoulder injury against Kansas during his senior year at A&...

Motivation can be achieved many ways. Sometimes a chip on the shoulder can provide the motivation that a player needs to have a fantastic season.
When an organization shows a concern that they want a player to perform better, the media and public are usually standing in line to voice their concern as well.

Move over Patriots, there may be Super Bowl competition in a place where one wouldn’t have thought–Arrowhead. Ok, that was obviously hyperbole, but the fact remains that the Kansas City Chiefs could very well join the Patriots as favorites for the AFC conference title.

Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel preached patience with rookie nose tackle Dontari Poe, the teams first-round draft pick.

If he is all-world, then were all going to be happy. But theres a process the player...

There's really no word on when he'll return and missing the rest of training camp is not out of the question considering things will wrap up on Thursday. Chiefs coach...

The 2011 Chiefs got off to about as dreadful a start as a team can, losing a passel of starters to injury and being outscored 89-10 in their first two games. Kansas City didn’t really rebound, but still claimed the lone regular season victory over the Packers. They also almost denied Tebow a playoff appearance with a Week 17 win, but the Broncos squeaked into their division title...
