Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher is a little more relaxed these days, which speaks to both his growth as a player and status in the locker room. He is a veteran now, the second-most experienced starter (by a year) on a young line, and most importantly, he finally seems comfortable in his own skin, something that was not always a given for the fourth-year pro and former No. 1 overall pick during his first 2 1/2 seasons in the league.
That was reflected, at least somewhat, in his generally-terse interactions with the media, as he rarely spoke in the locker room and, when he did, offered cliches and little else.
