Orlando Brown Happy At LT, Aiming To Protect Patrick Mahomes

Apr 27, 2021 9:05 AM

Orlando Brown says he's ready for the pressure of protecting Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs acquired the left tackle from the Baltimore Ravens via trade.

"I put a lot of pressure on myself and have very high expectations for myself, and that's keeping Pat as clean as possible, creating many huge gaps and holes in the running game and taking care of that man across from me on a consistent basis," Brown said. "I want to be the best. I want to be the best to play this position in the league. I'm not there yet and I've still got a lot of work to do, but I'm going to get there."

The Ravens granted Brown's request for a trade. Brown said he wanted out of Baltimore because he wanted to play left tackle. His path with the Ravens was blocked by the presence of Ronnie Stanley.

Patrick Mahomes Ahead Of Schedule On Toe Surgery

Apr 19, 2021 10:45 PM

Patrick Mahomes indicated he's ahead of schedule following offseason surgery for turf toe.

"I think I'm progressing well,'' said Mahomes, who felt well enough recently to travel to Georgia and attend the Masters Tournament with, among others, teammate Travis Kelce. "I think I'm ahead of schedule myself. Obviously, we're trying to be cautious. We're not pushing me out there too soon. But I'm doing what I can. I've gotten out of the boot finally. It took forever. Now I'm trying to get back on the field and get that stuff working. I'm sure they'll keep me on that same pathway and that hopefully I can do some stuff by the end of the offseason.''

The Chiefs expect Mahomes to be at full strength for the beginning of training camp in July.

"He's got great flexibility in that toe,'' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "He worked his tail off, not a real fun thing for him to do with that. It seems like a small thing, but that toe is rather large and stiff before the surgery and after the surgery, so he's really worked hard to get that right.''

Britt Reid Charged With Felony DWI

Apr 13, 2021 8:39 AM

Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid has been charged with felony driving while intoxicated for his involvement in a car crash earlier this year that left a 5-year-old girl critically injured.

If convicted, Reid would face a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.

The crash occurred Feb. 4, when police say Reid's truck slammed into two vehicles on the side of a highway entrance ramp near Kansas City's NFL training complex next to Arrowhead Stadium.

A test of Reid's blood serum after the crash showed his blood alcohol concentration to be at .113, above the legal limit of .08, according to the probable cause statement. Police had previously said Reid admitted to investigators to having had "two or three drinks" along with prescribed Adderall before the crash.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Considered Signing With Chiefs

Apr 9, 2021 9:00 AM

JuJu Smith-Schuster told Michael Irvin that if he didn't re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he'd have joined the Kansas City Chiefs.

The wide receiver was also courted by the Baltimore Ravens.

"[Playing for a rival], too, and I'm curious to see how they're going to be this year having Sammy Watkins and how they're going to use him and throwing the ball and stuff like that," Smith-Schuster said of the Ravens. "Lamar [Jackson]'s a really, a heavy run offense with the backs that he has. I just, just point being facts. His No. 1 target was [Mark] Andrews, who's a tight end. I think, just seeing K.C. and bro, Andy Reid was just calling me and he was sending me Lombardi Trophy pictures like constantly. We had a good talk, so it would've been K.C. after the Steelers.

"Like texted it to me while I was trying to make a decision and I have so much respect for him and his team."
