Chiefs Rookie After 5 Days of Camp: ‘This Place Teaches You Greatness’

Kansas City, MO – July 28, 2025
Energy is pulsing through GEHA Field at Arrowhead as a new Chiefs rookie adjusts to the demanding but tradition-rich standards in Kansas City. Here, greatness isn’t just expected—it’s built, day by day.

The front office made waves on draft night, trading with the Eagles to move from pick 31 to 32, also sending pick 164, to land Josh Simmons, a talented lineman from Ohio State. The move immediately set the tone: the Chiefs want talent that can fit the system from day one.

Simmons was a key piece of the Buckeyes’ offensive line, earning Third-team All-Big Ten honors in 2024, despite a late-season knee injury. In Kansas City, he’s viewed as a “steal if healthy,” battling for the left tackle spot against Jaylon Moore.

“I was a hitter in college — raw, aggressive. But here in Kansas City, it’s different. The standard’s higher, the coaching’s sharper, and I’m learning to play smarter every rep. This place doesn’t just expect greatness — it teaches you how to reach it.”
Josh Simmons, voice steady with conviction.

Simmons arrived at camp with a strong foundation: 6-5, 317 lbs, and already progressing well in his rehab. Coaches are taking note of his footwork and how quickly he’s picking up line calls and schemes. His current focus: mastering the depth of the Chiefs’ offensive playbook, from run-blocking to zone schemes and protection assignments.

Under Head Coach Andy Reid and offensive line coach Chris Morgan, Simmons is being transformed from an Ohio State phenom into a complete NFL lineman—one who reads the game, reacts quickly, and communicates at an elite level.

Surrounded by proven veterans like Jason Kelce (with some comparing Simmons’ stamina and upside to Trent Williams) and Jaylon Moore, he’s getting the chance to both learn and compete for the starting left tackle job.

As camp enters its fifth day, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Simmons can turn draft hype into real impact—protecting Mahomes, solidifying the O-line, and helping the Chiefs chase another championship.

In Kansas City, greatness isn’t just a given—it’s forged, rep by rep, day by day, through sweat, technique, and relentless focus.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
