KANSAS CITY Darwin Thompson Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , Mo. (AP) — A 47-year-old Englishwoman has seen the best and worst that Twitter would have to offer the American football player who shares her name.Dee Ford, of Kent, England, told the Kansas City Star that her “phone was going off literally nonstop” due to angry tweets from Kansas City Chiefs fans who thought they were venting at linebacker Dee Ford following his critical late penalty in last weekend’s AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. She says Ford “doesn’t deserve” the vitriol.The player isn’t on Twitter, but he was no stranger to the Englishwoman. Five years ago when the player was still at Auburn, someone in the school’s athletic department inadvertently tagged the woman in a congratulatory tweet after the player was named most valuable player of the senior bowl. Fans responded with their own positive tweets.She decided to learn about the game and was hooked. She has spoken to the Chiefs’ Dee Ford by phone and attended two games — an Auburn home game last fall and a Chiefs game in London in 2015.

I’m optimistic that Ward can continue to develop into a starting outside cornerback, but if all he does is stay on the same path, he will at least be a good part of the rotation in 2020. 2. WR Byron Pringle I’ve been skeptical of the love that Pringle gets from #Chiefs Twitter. But he did show enough last preseason to suggest he will make the roster this season. The coaches have been raving about his development so far in OTAs, and it seems almost guaranteed that he will at least be a core special teams contributor on this year’s 53. Can he take the next step by taking advantage of a wide-open depth chart as a receiver and continue developing chemistry with Patrick Mahomes? 3. LG Andrew Wylie Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsAlready earning praise from coaches for his athleticism Discount Darwin Thompson Jersey , Wylie is the man to beat at left guard this season. With the evolution of the NFL pass rush featuring more inside threats, the Chiefs need to make sure they are solid up the middle. The Chiefs’ 2018 Mack Lee Hill award winner appears to be a guy trending in the right direction to make a difference.4. NT Derrick Nnadi Craig Stout and Matt Lane are really diving into the potential tendencies in this defense during their Summer of Spags series. One observation they found from film analysis was that nose tackles can put up significant stats in Spagnuolo’s scheme. Nnadi showed signs of being a disruptive interior player in his rookie season as a 3-4 nose tackle. This season, he will have the benefit of an attacking 4-3 scheme with stunts and matchups that should be favorable for him to be right in the thick of things. There is good reason to believe that Nnadi will continue to develop in this defense and be a force on the inside. 5. OG Kahlil McKenzieTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsWe honestly have no idea what to expect from McKenzie this year, if anything. But it’s telling that the Chiefs saw enough potential in McKenzie to keep him on 2018’s active roster all season with little chance that he’d ever play (McKenzie was transitioning from defensive line to offensive line). He’s now had an entire season of coaching and training, plus a full offseason without significant additions at the guard position. An imposing physical figure, he will be one guy with a lot to prove in St Joseph. From the upside down: What if Tanoh or Speaks gets better? For those of you that aren’t fans of the Netflix show, Stranger Things Super Bowl Darwin Thompson Jersey , the “upside down” is an alternate dimension where things are crazy. In the real world, actions mean more than words. The Chiefs have completely overhauled the EDGE position in a way that doesn’t show much confidence in Breeland Speaks or Tanoh Kpassagnon. Both former second-round picks fit the mold of what Steve Spagnuolo is looking for in a defensive end, at least physically. But, they both have been underwhelming thus far. If the team really loved the potential of Speaks or Kpassagnon, they wouldn’t have invested in three guys to play ahead of them.That being said... what if they do somehow get an opportunity and show improvement? Even if that opportunity is at a different position. Speaks appears to have bulked up (maybe or maybe not on purpose), so perhaps he will get an opportunity inside. What if Kpassagnon could get snaps as a situational pass-rusher, maybe even from the SAM position? These two guys are still on the roster Darwin Thompson Jersey nfl draft , and any significant contribution would be a surprise at this point, but they are at the point of their careers where they just might make a jump. The new coaching staff could get more out of them and in doing so, create a scary rotation.
