“As an organization, we certainly understand and respect Damien’s choice, knowing it was made in the best interest of his family,” general manager Brett Veach said in a statement. “He means a lot to our football team as a player and a person, and we’re going to miss having him around this season.”

The total yardage I have him projected for increased from 1,130 to almost 1,500, and his touchdowns increased from 8 to 11.

Local Chiefs Reporters:
Sack Nation coming for it all this year 🤟
I wrote about Mahomes' development as a scrambler in Part 2 of the series on Mahomes' underrated traits.
It's something that flew under the radar, but he was one of the most dangerous scramblers in football in terms of moving the chains down the stretch.
Patrick Mahomes' underrated traits, Part 2: scrambling
Mahomes unlocked another feature down the stretch in 2019, and defenses couldn't handle it.

"Now he’s giving to other people what nobody ever gave to him.”
This is really good and worth your time. We are so lucky to have @Mathieu_Era in KC.

National Talking Heads:
the numbers are being added to new helmets 🔥🔥🔥
Payton praised Terry Fontenot, said it shouldn’t be long before he is a general manager. Fontenot leads the pro personnel department and shares the assistant GM title with Jeff Ireland.
Eric Moulds. Spectacular catch extraordinaire. @BuffaloBills
If you are someone who plays fantasy… #Bucs coach Bruce Arians tells reporters that “Rojo’s the main guy. He’ll carry the load.” Arians added that LeSean McCoy should contribute in the passing game.

the ONLY “ranking” that matters is the one at the end of the season … you know: the SB winner
it’s STILL a team sport, and the TEAM wins (or loses) games … now, last I saw the TEAM was the reigning SB Champion, and that’s the ONLY thing that counts
Preach!!!
your team’s sins have been absolved, my son … hallelujah n stuff like that there
I’m even Ok with Wilson being number 1, but Lamar?? Ha
In 2018 Pat literally did what no one has done before, and people still said he wasn’t the best player. Lamar does a good Vick impression and everyone’s screaming “this guys unstoppable”
So is there really someone that gives the Morning Huddle a 1 star rating everyday? This is a great accumulation of info.
Someone has been giving 1 star to just about all the articles.
Pretty lame considering people spend their own time, free of charge, to create AG and it’s content.
Pete’s weenie trolling?
Wow. That bitter little troll must have a sad existence.
For Pete, I thought that was a given
Lamar is the best running QB in the league, however a QB is responsible for so much more than just running the ball. Pat’s bank account knows who is number one and it isn’t even close. I also believe he has a few trophies and awards in the cupboard as well.
I wouldn’t put Lamar Jackson in front of Russell Wilson, let alone Mahomes.
But Jackson played in one more game than the other two. /sarcasm/
I know there isn’t a GM that would either. How many 1st & 2nd round picks would need to be thrown in to trade Patrick for Lamar. There must be some number that would make it worthwhile, but I wouldn’t be interested.
