A major training camp question for the Kansas City Chiefs was expected to be a competition at punter.
After four seasons with the Chiefs, Tommy Townsend signed with the Houston Texans as an unrestricted free agent. The writing for Townsend’s departure had seemingly been on the wall since Kansas City signed former San Diego State punter Matt Araiza a month earlier.
Following the draft, the Chiefs brought in BYU’s Ryan Rehkow as an undrafted free agent to compete with Araiza to replace Townsend. The stage was seemingly set for fierce competition at the position.
