Boise State offensive lineman Ryan Clady, ranked as the #2 offensive tackle in the draft, will have a great trainer for the combine and the draft -- Will Shields. (Hat tip to Chiefs Coalition)
WPI has a very interesting interview with Jared Allen. Part one is here. Also, check out Mr. Wendler's piece, Throw to Win.
Jared Allen and Tony Gonzalez are the two Chiefs on the AP's All-Pro team. You know. The other AP.
Chiefs CB Rashad Barksdale used his first NFL paycheck to pay off his student loans.
Arrowhead Addict has a video of WVU's fullback, Owen Schmitt.
KC Chiefs Fanatic weighs in on Mike Shula as a possible offensive coordinator.
Did they really use to show Magic the Gathering on ESPN2? Dex, tell me you're kidding.

Does the fact that Will Shields is training Ryan Clady make any difference to you, as far as his potential? Does Will see something in him? Whatever the case, Clady is pretty lucky.

Not High On Clady

After watching him in the Hawaii Bowl, I was left a bit unimpressed. He left his feet A LOT to try to finish of his blocks, effectively taking himself out of the play. He seemed to move well before that, had good energy and was aggressive, but once he pulled the submarine he was done. It's great that Shields is working with him for the combine but, I don't believe his tendency to dive at peoples ankles will be addressed with that training. I'm pretty sure there isn't a measurable for @ss height at the combine either but that's all that's left of his blocking skills once he's on the ground.
