Chiefs Kingdom is buzzing about the rookie minicamp held over the weekend. With under 70 players attending the camp this past weekend, fans are starting to get excited about the upcoming season. The Chiefs sent nine draftees and 60 other rookies to the camp, all of whom had hopes of making the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2015 roster.

One of the more interesting notes from the camp is that the Chiefs have given Steve Borden Jr a chance to prove himself. Why does that name sound familiar, you ask? Borden Jr is the son of former pro wrestler Steve Borden.
