Training camp inches closer with each passing day. The Kansas City Chiefs will open things up on July 21 when rookies and veterans report to Missouri Western State University to start preparing for the 2025 season.
They are hungry and motivated to bounce back after falling in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles. Andy Reid is ready to get the ball rolling and get back to being an explosive offense that pushes the ball downfield.
During an interview on the Up & Adams show this week, second-year WR Xavier Worthy said that Reid told his WRs they should be ready to run in camp.
Worthy stated, "Coach [Andy] Reid told us during OTAs, Phase I, ‘When you come back, get your hamstrings ready'. So, he kind of knew that we were going to be going a little deep in practice, so we kind of got our bodies and our minds ready [for] what we were going to be doing in practice.”

Chiefs Plan to Have Chiefs WRs Running in Camp
Last season, Patrick Mahomes averaged his lowest passing yards per attempt of his career at 6.8 yards. The injuries to Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice, with Travis Kelce taking a step back, played a major role in these numbers for Mahomes.
Considering that Brown, Rice, and Worthy are all healthy, Kansas City is looking to get back to pushing the ball downfield. Reid wanted to let these guys know ahead of time so they can be prepared when camp opens up.
This is music to the ears of KC Kingdom. Throughout Mahomes' tenure as the starting quarterback, they have consistently made teams pay with the deep ball. That forced defenses to consistently run two-high coverages against the Chiefs in order to prevent deep shots and force the offense to dink and dunk their way up the field.
Nonetheless, great offenses and coaches find a way to beat that look, and the Chiefs are one of them. Having this trio ready to roll for the 2025 season will be huge, and fans should be ready to see some more deep shots offensively in the fall.
