Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, April 22
Fans demand another Texas Tech legend
Speculation exploded after the Kansas City Chiefs posted a photo of their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, highlighting his Texas Tech roots. Fans quickly connected the dots, clamoring for the team to draft Tahj Brooks, a standout running back prospect from the same Texas Tech program.
Brooks left an indelible mark at Texas Tech, cementing his place as one of the program’s greatest running backs. In 2024, he became the school’s all-time leading rusher. The Texas native etched his name in the record books, finishing his college career with 4,557 rushing yards over 56 games.

Want: Backup tight end
Don’t want: Running back
The Chiefs should be set at running back and wide receiver, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they address those two positions. I’m going to trust Andy Reid when he told me at the NFL owners meeting that Isiah Pacheco will be “an even better player this year” coming back from the broken leg he suffered last season, and Kansas City brought back Kareem Hunt and signed Elijah Mitchell. And if Rashee Rice (knee) is 100 percent then the top three receivers are locked in with him, Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown. Travis Kelce is also back for at least one more season, but the Chiefs could look for his eventual replacement in the NFL Draft. Kansas City won’t have a shot at Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland barring a trade, but LSU’s Mason Taylor, Miami’s Elijah Arroyo or Bowling Green’s Harold Fannin Jr. could be options this weekend.
Chiefs, Titans Involved in Possible NFL Blockbuster Trade | Last Word On Sports
This week, the Kansas City Chiefs could trade for wide receiver Treylon Burks during the NFL Draft to bolster their pass-catching department. According to Bleacher Report, they believe the Tennessee Titans and Chiefs could exchange where the Titans send Burks for a fifth-round pick, which could make sense considering the wide receiver room for Kansas City. Originally selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the former Arkansas product has had one of the worst starts to his career, despite recording 33 receptions for 444 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Burks has been dealing with injuries for the majority of his sophomore campaign, and there was hope that after trading DeAndre Hopkins last year, he would increase his production.
