Chiefs training camp notebook: Defense keeping up with elite offense

At its core, training camp across the NFL is built for offensive success. And in St. Joseph, Missouri, that idea is all the more exaggerated.

League MVP Patrick Mahomes wears a yellow jersey, meaning he need not worry about being hit or taken to the ground. Mahomes dazzles during times when he knows he could get hurt. How easy must it feel while that is hardly a possibility?

And then there are the players who are on the receiving end of the football: the league’s best tight end in Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, who looks healthier than ever, a blazing fast two-time All-Pro in Tyreek Hill and a rookie in Mecole Hardman who may just give him a run for his money in the speed department.
