The Kansas City Chiefs are going to have a lot of young players on both sides of the ball this season. That is why this training camp for the Chiefs is one of the most important ones, if not the most important one, since head coach Andy Reid came to the Chiefs. Here, the new players are learning about how NFL schemes are run. They are also building chemistry with their teammates.

It's an important time for the veterans to learn about their new teammates as well and give them \ leadership that they are looking for. It will take all the roster this season for the Chiefs to achieve what they are trying to do. They have made it clear to all the new players and they are on board with the process, and they will give it their all for their teammates.

One player that is flying under the radar in training camp is veteran tight end Robert Tonyan. He is a new member of the Chiefs this season, but he is bringing his leadership, and it is getting noticed by his teammates and the coaching staff. He is helping the younger players in any way he can. It is never a bad thing when you have different veteran leaders on your NFL team.

It is important as well because this can be the last season of star tight end Travis Kelce. He is back with the Chiefs for the new season after not knowing if he was going to retire this past offseason. But that was not the case for Kelce. He wanted to come back for at least one more season and give his team everything he has.

Kelce will be a big part of the offense this season. If the Chiefs have any thoughts of winning another Super Bowl next season, they are going to have to have a much-improved offense, and that starts with Kelce being more involved. That is one thing they are making sure they do in 2025. The Chiefs have the personnel to do it, and it all comes down to whether they can execute.

Tonyan can be part of the Chiefs' offense as well next season. Tonyan and Kelce could be a good pairing to put on the field together with some players this season. Tonyan is a proven tight end in the NFL, and the Chiefs can lean on him as well.
