Conference USA produced the 11th pick of last April's draft when the Kansas City Chiefs selected defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Marshall's Vinny Curry was next as the Philadelphia Eagles drafted the pass rusher in round two. History may repeat itself next April as Marshall will very likely have another player chosen in the draft's second round...

Remembering the Charlie Weis Era with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish and new Kansas Jayhawk head Charlie Weis has not exactly made many friends during his career. His stints as an assistant coach under Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick seemed to go well enough; he collected one ring as an offensive assistant and special teams coach on the 1990 New York Giants team coached by Parcells, and was awarded the other three...
Jamaal Charles reportedly looks as quick as ever

The Kansas City Chiefs recently medically cleared running back Jamaal Charles, safety Eric Better, tight end Tony Moeki for training camp.
According to Jim Trotter of SI.com, Charles “looks as quick as ever” after missing most of the 2011 season after tearing his ACL.
This is certainly good news for the Chiefs, since Charles looked like he was poised for a good...
Chiefs QB gets a lot of disrespect
This was not the dying moment of an ugly loss. This was a feel-good charity softball game in the middle of the summer, for heaven's sake, when everybody was feeling happy and upbeat.
Still the boos rained down on poor Matt Cassel.
A few weeks earlier, in another sign of the little regard so many in Kansas City seem to have for their quarterback, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt had...
Leg Injury For Chiefs DB Kyle McCarthy 'Doesn't Look Good'
We had our first injury of Kansas City Chiefs training camp yesterday when safety Kyle McCarthy went down during team drills. McCarthy was seen clutching his knee, being helped up by trainers and not putting any weight on his leg before being carted off the field. Non contact injuries are usually not a good thing and it doesn't appear this one is either. Per Josh Looney, head...
Chiefs’ Dwayne Bowe does not report for Training Camp
Dwayne Bowe is one of the few unsigned franchise players remaining. He officially became a holdout by skipping the Chiefs’ first day of Training Camp Friday. It’s unclear what Bowe hopes to gain from this as he can’t be signed long term now anyway. He will become a free agent next offseason either way, so all he’s doing is hurting himself, and potentially costing himself...
Baldwin Key to Chiefs Offense
After their first practice session on Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs had all but one of their warriors in camp. With the absence of Dwayne Bowe, it’s time for Jonathan Baldwin to elevate his game to Superhero status.
Chiefs Place DB Kyle McCarthy On Injured Reserve
The Kansas City Chiefs on Monday signed linebacker Edgar Jones and placed defensive back Kyle McCarthy on injured reserve. Jones spent the last five seasons with the Ravens, recording 22 tackles over 41 games. He also spent some time at tight end in Baltimore. McCarthy joined the Chiefs in February after spending the past two seasons with the Broncos. He had seven tackles in 12 games...
Time to bury the hatchet, Dwayne Bowe
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Because what else are you going to do? Play "Angry Birds" until your thumbs bleed? Learn macram? Audition for "Dancing With The Stars?" Make celebrity cameos on Rob Gronkowski's new reality show?
Come to camp, Dwayne Bowe. Come on, man. This is starting to get silly.
Look, we get it. You were itching for a long-term deal. Or maybe a ticket...
Training camp is sweet relief for Chiefs
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- He forgot. For Eric Berry, that was sweet. The best sign of all.
He'd cut. And plant. And backpedal. And twist. And jump. It was natural, painless, and free. So much so, that he didn't realize he was doing this on his left knee, the left knee that'd been torn to shreds and built back up again. He'd forgotten about the block that ended his 2011...
