Here’s the latest news from around Chiefs Nation and the NFL. It’s Saturday, so the news is a little weak compared to what we can usually dig up during the rest of the week. But we’re bringing it strong anyway so I hope you enjoy!

• Adam Teicher of the KC Star has a nice piece up Chiefs UDFA Mike Cox, who played balled under the Chiefs new Offensive Coordinator Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech. Cox would finally give the Chiefs a true fullback that is not a converted linebacker or tight end like the Chiefs previous experiments at the position with Boomer Grigsby and Kris “Secret Weapon” Wilson.

• My buddy Chris over at Arrowhead Pride has been churning out some really great content lately, so if you haven’t spent any time over there recently, you should go now. His newest piece is on Chiefs UDFA Ricky Santos, who played QB at New Hampshire (Div. I-AA), and while Santos is a little short on size, his numbers tell the real tale I think, and he could definitely push the other QBs currently on the Chiefs roster this summer in training camp.

• The Home of the Chiefs has an interesting take up on the Chiefs draft… from a different perspective. Thoughts on the Dark Side gives Chiefs fans the view of our draft class in the minds of Raider Nation, and while they’re pretty high on the Raiders new 3rd string RB Darren McFadden, the overall consensus is that the Chiefs did pretty well with their picks.

• The Chiefs designated mouthpiece, Bob Gretz, has a nice spot up on this weekend’s rookie mini-camp in Kansas City, AKA “the Herm Edwards Invitational.” The Chiefs are headed outside the box quite a bit with this camp, inviting only undrafted rookie free agent signings and tryout players to come and participate, instead of the doing what the rest of the league does in inviting all of their rookies. I like the move a lot because it gives the UDFAs and tryouts a chance to show off their skills with the coaching staff’s undivided attention.

• Trouble is brewing in Indianapolis after the Colts superstar WR Marvin Harrison was the subject of a serious police inquiry into a shooting at a tavern owned by Harrison in his native North Philadelphia. Evidently ballistics tests have come back with a positive match to Harrison’s custom made Belgian gun, and although Harrison is denying he was involved, it’s difficult to see how he’ll get out of this one.

 
That’s all I’ve got today. I’m taking a bit of a break this weekend, but check back in later tonight because we should have a new piece up on the Chiefs new Tight End, Brad Cottam. Thanks and Go Chiefs!!
