One Chiefs player has the clear lead to become the third quarterback

The Kansas City Chiefs will have a lot of tough decisions to make when it’s time to submit their final 53-man roster on August 31. One of those will be which of their young quarterbacks they want to keep.

Obviously Patrick Mahomes is a lock at starting quarterback — and it’s clear Chad Henne will be his backup. That leaves Chase Litton and Kyle Shurmur to fight for the third quarterback position.

After the first two preseason games, it’s pretty clear which of them has the edge.

If you listen to coach Andy Reid and his staff, you would think the two quarterbacks have been equally impressive during their two showings this preseason.
