All smiles at Chiefs OTA as they continue their work towards a 3-peat
Walker is the third son of Patrick Mahomes Sr. Walker studied philosophy at Brown University, balancing academics with his commitment to football. As he set his sights on the NFL, his father expressed confidence in his dedication.
“He has to do his part, he has to work hard,” Mahomes Sr. told FOX4’s Carey Wickersham. “He’s got a big year coming up, so hopefully he’s able to go out and do the things he needs to do to fulfill a dream that he’s dreamt about for a long time.”
Chiefs veteran DL Isaiah Buggs accused of animal cruelty in Alabama, per report | CBS Sports
On March 28, police received information of dogs being left on the back porch of a home that was being rented by Buggs, who according to witnesses moved out of the home on March 19 due to owing over $3,100 in back rent.
Upon arriving at the home, the City of Tuscaloosa’s Animal Control officers found a grey and white pitbull on the screened-in back porch without access to food or water.

Every NFL Team’s Most Exciting 2024 Undrafted Free-Agent Addition | Bleacher Report
Kansas City Chiefs: LB Curtis Jacobs
The Kansas City Chiefs might have something that fits well with undrafted linebacker Curtis Jacobs.
“Jacobs has the potential to be a solid coverage linebacker in the NFL,” Holder wrote. “He’s a good athlete and has shown the ability to cover tight ends in man coverage. He also has good awareness in zone coverage to make him scheme-flexible. Slow run-pass transitions against play action and a lack of ball production are his biggest issues in this area of the game.”
The 6’1”, 240-pound linebacker is fluid and explosive, but he can be a hindrance against the run. Still, he can be developed similarly to when the Chiefs drafted Willie Gay, who signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency.
White House staffers hoping Taylor Swift joins Chiefs when they visit on Friday | The Kansas City Star
“That’s a good question. I think the Swifties behind these double doors are hoping that Taylor Swift makes an appearance. I don’t have anything for you,” Jean-Pierre said with a laugh. “I don’t know. I can’t speak to her schedule, but I know there’s a lot of interest in this building and on campus.”
Swift is playing Eras Tour shows on Wednesday and Thursday in Madrid, then will be off until Sunday. So theoretically, she could jet to D.C. to join Kelce and the team, but it would be a quick trip.
Michael Lombardi: Can the Kansas City Chiefs Three-peat? | VSiN
For a two-time champion, the Chiefs have many questions to solve as the season begins. And they will need luck to be standing alone on top of the mountain at the conclusion of the 2024 season for them to become the first three-peat champion. As good as the Chiefs have been, and as great as Mahomes plays, I am not tempting history. There is a reason for no three-peats, and the 2024 version of the Chiefs haven’t given me any persuasive evidence to alter history.

Ravens’ Mark Andrews confirms a suspicion about the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs | AtoZ Sports
“There were still some things I was probably battling through that time of year. [I] obviously wasn’t full 100% in [the AFC Championship], but I worked really hard to get to that point, and it set me up for a really good offseason to work hard,”
Andrews explained to the media during AN OTA session on Tuesday. “I’ve been running a ton of routes – non-stop routes – with my family, working out. I feel really good right now. I feel fast [and] explosive. But, I think it set me up for a really good offseason.”
