Everyone surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs can’t stop talking about the pass rush. Defensive tackle Chris Jones’ holdout makes it a topic of discussion, and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu’s six-game suspension complicates the situation further.
It puts much pressure on the other guys to perform, and arguably none more than rookie first-round selection Felix Anudike-Uzomah. The defensive end from Kansas State was drafted for his pass-rush potential but had to recover from minor thumb surgery before he could start working at full go.
That may have caused a slow start to training camp, but his performance in the preseason opener proved he is a full go.
