Andy Reid likes what he sees from new players behind defensive line

During the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason, much of the focus has been on the defensive line, where star tackle Chris Jones might take more snaps as an edge rusher — something that has been made possible — at least in part — by the acquisition of former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

But there are other new (and fairly new) faces on the team’s defense — some of whom have been getting additional snaps during the first few days of training camp.

One of them is second-year linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who spent the offseason rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.
