Former Chiefs TE Jody Fortson was an all-time camp crush

Former Chiefs TE Jody Fortson was an all-time camp crush

We are within a month of the Kansas City Chiefs opening training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.

It’s an annual tradition to have a “camp crush” heading into the first chance to watch the Chiefs in full-team practices, when there are 90 players, instead of 53 after cutdown day in September, to watch and overanalyze.

Former Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson was one of the most successful camp crushes in franchise history. Before he scored four times over the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he was a big-bodied wide receiver from Division II Valdosta State who...

Andy Reid surprises Nick Bolton with Missouri Tigers Hall of Fame announcement | The Kansas City Star

At a recent OTA practice earlier this month, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid surprised Bolton with a special announcement, as revealed Monday in a video posted by the school’s X account.

“You guys know I’m a Missouri Tiger at heart,” Reid said to a circle of Chiefs players. “I had a chance to coach there … and we’ve got a couple of Missouri Tigers here. But we’ve got one that’s real, real famous right now — real...

Countdown to Kickoff: 76 Days until the Chiefs’ season opener

We are 76 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.

Left guard Kingsley Suamataia will wear that uniform for the Chiefs as the starting left guard for the second consecutive season in his third year as an NFL player.

He’s off to a good start, but is still looking up on the list of the franchise’s best No. 76s.

All-time Chiefs who wore No. 76

1. John Alt (1984-1996)

2. Mo Moorman (1968-1973)

3. John Tait (1999-2003)

4. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (2015-2019)

Monday Musings: Which free agent departure will Chiefs miss the most?

Monday Musings: Which free agent departure will Chiefs miss the most?

The Kansas City Chiefs have a lengthy list of departed free agents ahead of the 2026 NFL season, players who made an impact a season ago and are no longer in Kansas City.

On defense, it’s a tough list to slim down:

  • Cornerback Jaylen Watson
  • Safety Bryan Cook
  • Linebacker Leo Chenal
  • Defensive end Charles Omenihu
  • Defensive end Mike Danna

The Chiefs’ secondary will be looking to rebound after losing All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie via trade along with Watson and Cook. That said, Chenal’s unique skillset covered a lot of ground for Kansas City’s front seven...

Countdown to Kickoff: 77 Days until the Chiefs’ season opener

We are 77 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.

Right tackle Jaylon Moore is projected to handle the right edge of the offensive line in 2026 as he dons the No. 77 jersey for the second consecutive season.

He has a long way to go to be remembered in franchise history as easily as these former Chiefs are:

All-time Chiefs who wore No. 77

1. Willie Roaf (2002 – 2005)

2. Jim Tyrer (1961 – 1973)

3. Charlie Getty (1974 – 1982)...

10 Biggest Chiefs Questions: How will the offensive tackles perform?

10 Biggest Chiefs Questions: How will the offensive tackles perform?

For the fourth straight year, I’m considering the 10 biggest questions I have for the Kansas City Chiefs for 2026. Let’s get started!

I’ve been doing this series for four years, and each year, one of the biggest questions about the Chiefs going into the season is the team’s plan at offensive tackle. Since left tackle Eric Fisher and right tackle Mitchell Schwartz got injured during the 2020 season, the Chiefs have been through numerous tackle combinations and haven’t landed on a long-term one yet.

In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, the Chiefs traded for left tackle Orlando Brown Jr....

Remembering Joe Delaney on the anniversary of his death

Remembering Joe Delaney on the anniversary of his death

This story was originally written by the late, great John Dixon, Arrowhead Pride’s longtime contributor and the managing editor of the site for too short a time. We lost John in April, but he made sure our readers remembered Joe Delaney every year.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected running back Joe Delaney out of Northwestern State in Louisiana in the second round (41st overall) in the 1981 NFL Draft.

During a time when the team wasn’t very good, Delaney was a shining star in Kansas City. During his rookie season, he ran for 1,121 yards (and three touchdowns) on 234...

Jared Wiley gaining momentum in Chiefs TE3 battle ahead of training camp | KC Kingdom

With this in mind, it is fair to point to the early performance of Jared Wiley, which was highlighted by the Kansas City Star’s Pete Sweeney in a recent interview. It seems that Wiley is taking the inside track to winning the third tight end role and could become a surprise contributor early in the 2026 season for the Chiefs.

“Wiley to me looked as comfortable as he has since the injury. You’ve got to see how he looks...

What are realistic expectations for Chiefs’ rookie defensive linemen?

What are realistic expectations for Chiefs’ rookie defensive linemen?

The NFL Draft is all about hope. Hope for something new. Hope for something better. Hope for change.

Wrapped up in that hope is the idea that the next player will be better than the last. Eventually, the hypothetical becomes real. The production speaks for itself, either for better or for worse.

The harsh reality is that most draft picks don’t work out. Heck, half of the first round picks don’t become who they were expected to be. It’s why some teams have adopted the “[bleep] them picks” mantra.

Which directions will the winds blow on the 2026 rookie class...
