On Wednesday’s mailbag edition of Arrowhead Pride’s Out of Structure podcast, Matt Stagner and I reacted to the Kansas City Chiefs’ first preseason game — a 19-16 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
We discussed each of our lists of takeaways from Saturday’s exhibition. After talking through everything, we named multiple players who had their chances of making the team strengthened (or weakened) by their performance.
I’ve summarized three of our talking points.
Darwin Thompson vs. Jerick McKinnon
In my opinion, new Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon was the offensive player of the game, based on the explosive plays he had as a runner and a receiver.
