"He's a weapon in so many areas and every defensive coordinator that's out there is concerned about him because of his speed," Nagy said. "We just need to make sure that as we go forward here, we put him in the right spots, we don't overuse him and mentally you want to stick to that less-is-more mentality so that he can play fast."

In addition to Johnson and Pierre-Louis, the Chiefs have veterans Ramik Wilson, Justin March-Lillard, Terrance Smith and Josh Mauga at inside linebacker. They also drafted Ukeme Eligwe in the fifth round.

“In college, I was more outside the box playing more of a strong safety type, so when I got to Seattle, I had to re-learn how to play inside the box, so my eyes have definitely transitioned,” Pierre-Louis said. “I have definitely improved my eyes.”

Sure, it was just one drive on a picture-perfect day. And sure, the Chiefs’ undisputed No. 1 starter at quarterback — Alex Smith — has ripped it up through the first two full-squad practices.

Smith connected on 12 straight passes to start the 7-on-7 team drills, including two impressive throws to second-year wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
