"They worked hard, and I appreciated that," Reid said. "I thought we made progress. I mentioned before, I think it's the young guys that you're really looking at here — we have a number of them — and how they've progressed, and continue to progress will be a big part of how this team does."
He also gave credit to veterans Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and Nick Bolton for their leadership at training camp.
