After busy offseason, KC Chiefs’ Allen Bailey is the lone “amigo” standing | The Kansas City Star
Their lockers were side-by-side and the three defensive linemen were so close off the field that they coined themselves the “3 Amigos” and printed up shirts with the moniker. When healthy, they comprised one of the NFL’s better interior groups. Their bond off the field, they thought, only made them stronger on it.

“Just talking trash,” Nelson said with a smile. “That’s just me, man. My competitive spirit.”
Throughout OTAs, Nelson has made more plays on the ball, a function of his ongoing effort to trust his instincts more. Nelson, a third-round pick from Oregon State in 2015, was a full-time starter for the first time last season but didn’t record any interceptions.

“I remember it was Dr. Seuss’ birthday, and I got to read to the little ones and that was just an awesome experience.
