First Three Months Of Dorsey's Chiefs Regime Far Cry From Pioli's from KC Star

By now you've heard that part of his story. His wife is from the area, and their first date was at Jack Stack. When the Chiefs introduced him as their new general manager, he called it his dream job.

But living in a place can be very different than visiting. He just bought a house here. This is real now. Working a dream job can be very different than dreaming about it. So we wanted to check in after three months and see if anything had changed.

"No way, this place is awesome, man," he says. "Here's an example. We went down to Oklahoma Joe's (on Wednesday), Andy and I and some other guys, and we sat in line for 40 minutes. The people were great. This is the good thing about the Midwest: Everybody respects your space. It's a cool thing.

"Some guys would come up and talk to us; they're genuinely excited. That's what it's all about. It's the people, man."

Draft Spotlight - Day 14: Dion Jordan from The Mothership

Dion Jordan's draft stock is rising, according to ESPN Draft analyst Todd McShay.

"Jordan is the top pass-rusher in this class, but that's not all he can do," McShay wrote. "His fluidity and range in coverage are rare for a DE/OLB prospect with his length."

The former tight end, made the switch to defensive end at Oregon and flourished, largely because of his speed and length, using his 33 7/8" arms to his advantage when bringing down ball carriers.

New Chiefs coach Andy Reid has named Alex Smith his starter. Chase Daniel accepts that, but it isn't going to stop the former Southlake Carroll star from competing hard.

Daniel guaranteed his return to Missouri, where he played college football, by signing with the Chiefs last month.

"We obviously know Alex is our starter, but I'm going to compete my rear end off and try my very hardest to compete with him day in and day out," Daniel said in a phone interview. "I think that's what makes quarterbacks, especially, competitive. Everyone trying to take the spot in front of them, and the person at the top is trying to hold onto it."
