If the last two episodes of The Franchise, the new web series documenting the Kansas City Chiefs offseason, display the blueprint for what future takes will look like throughout the season, it will hold its value beyond the year covered.
While it isn’t a particularly unique formula, sandwiching a more focused look into a single player’s off-field life in between glimpses behind the curtain of the front office, coaching staff, and locker room is a solid way to make up for those glimpses being so surface level.
Episode three of The Franchise, titled “Clear The Way”, opens on the construction and unveiling of the new Thomas Defensive Meeting Room, a tribute to both Emmitt Thomas and Derrick Thomas.
