Chiefs first practice 'doesn't feel like training camp' | Kansas City Star
The Chiefs drafted Asamoah in the third round last year out of Illinois, and the team liked him almost immediately. He's a quiet and driven youngster who showed the necessary chops to someday be a starter.
Not long after he heard that Waters was out, Asamoah's thinking changed. He was sad to see Waters go, but this was his first real chance.
"The pressure's on your back," he said, "so it's a good feeling."
Smith said Baldwin, who attended Pittsburgh, has connected with Chiefs fans by interacting with them on Twitter, adding that the young wideout already feels like he's at home.
"He already feels like he's a member of the Kansas City community," Smith said.

The Washington Post is reporting the first steps in what will inevitably happen in every locker room or clubhouse around the NFL early in training camps as they open and players come together.
