With Eric Kush (ankle) out, rookie Zach Fulton at center with second-team offense during 11-on-11 drills. Chiefs love versatile linemen.
— Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) July 28, 2014
Fulton getting a ton of snaps at center. He's a big dude for the center but that versatility is useful

Sean Smith got beat once in 1v1s and looked visibly frustrated. Came back and made a play in team and got his strut back.

ESPN was at Chiefs camp today
- Andy Reid told ESPN's Jeannine Edwards on Alex Smith: "He's just my kind of guy."
- "Their guys up front need to be able to bring pressure." She says they have made an effort to get bigger and faster, and the staff has noticed.
- Teammates on Dee Ford: "He is wise beyond his years."
- "Andy Reid told me his biggest concern is the secondary."
Sorry, little kid. I had some errands to run today.
A little kid just walked up to the #Chiefs media tent and asked, "Is one you of you Joel?" @ArrowheadPride is truly a man of the people.
