The Chiefs are collecting bottled water and contributing $35,000 to assist victims of devastating tornadoes in Kansas and Missouri. The Chiefs are also teaming with the Salvation Army to collect financial donations for Heart-to-Heart International. More than 100 people were killed in the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri on Sunday. Earlier, one man died and dozens of homes were destroyed in the eastern Kansas community of Reading.

Chiefs rookie Eric Berry played every one of the team's 1,065 defensive snaps last season. He was also a part of roughly half of their 468 special teams plays. "If we had another game, I would have made it and I would have been ready," Berry said. "But I have to tell you this: When the season was over, I didn’t do anything for about a month. I didn't go out or do anything. I was supposed to go home (to Georgia) and I didn't even book my flight. I just stayed in the house, watched TV. I just sat around the house. I wasn't used to playing that many games. My body was just through afterwards." Berry found the energy to make it to Hawaii and participate in the Pro Bowl three weeks after the Chiefs were knocked out of the playoffs with their loss to Baltimore. Otherwise, he said he didn't begin working out until sometime in March.

The way Kansas City's roster currently stands, rookie wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin is the favorite to start alongside star Dwayne Bowe. Bowe was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2010 thanks to a breakout campaign. The Chiefs drafted Baldwin with the 26th overall pick in the draft.
