Williams suggested he will make it work for the Chiefs where he couldn't his final year in Tampa Bay or during his one season with the Bills. "I think I'm training a lot more," Williams said.

Gaines said he now weighs 188 pounds, up from 181 a year ago.

"It's just a combination of me getting my lower body right," said Gaines, who had 20 tackles and four pass deflections as a rookie in 2014.

"We don't baby them very much. It's as simple as it gets," Reynolds added. "They get a desk, a dresser, and two beds pushed together. And if they want to rent a mattress, if they want to get a TV, they know how to do it." Making their temporary home away from home "homier" is his recommendation. "I tell them all, bring your own toiletries, bring your sheets, your pillow makes it a little bit better of a night's rest," Reynolds said. "The rookies don't know that yet. But when the vets come in, you'll see them with 90 mattresses, TVs and video gaming systems. And then the rookies are kind of like, ‘Where can I get that?’"

Coach Andy Reid said the key for Williams is staying healthy. "We know he can play and his biggest thing is that he’s been banged up," Reid said.

During the first practice, Williams found himself facing off against cornerback Phillip Gaines, who is also working his way back from injury. Gaines was impressed with that he saw on day one.
