I love behind-the-play stories like this.
As football writers debate college football vs. pro football stemming from Sports Illustrated’s Andy Benoit’s Wednesday column, ESPN Mike Sando has shined some light on a play the Kansas City Chiefs borrowed from college that led to a 78-yard touchdown in the team’s 2017 season opener against the New England Patriots.
Former Chiefs assistant head coach and current Chicago Bears consultant Brad Childress detailed how he found the play while studying the film former North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz. Though the Chiefs knew they probably couldn’t draft Wentz, Childress was doing his due diligence.
