Chiefs OL Jeff Allen Embraces Competition, Understands Leadership

“It was really tough,” Allen said of last year. “To be honest, everyone here on this level, I think we all have a love for the game but you don’t realize how much until it’s taken away.

“Fortunately for me, it was just temporary. I was out for a year, it sucked, it was a bummer, but it kind of brought things in perspective for me and I realized you can’t take anything for granted.”

The Chiefs made some moves this offseason in regards to personnel along the offensive line, trading for two-time Pro Bowler and former first-round pick, Ben Grubbs.
