Following training, recruit Leo Chenal took the podium. He commented on playing against Mahomes.

“It’s kinda cool, the top of the top of the top. Iron sharpens iron but in reality it’s more like a diamond sharpening copper," Chenal said.

Afterwards, Darian Kinnard spoke with reporters. He said head coach Andy Reid prides himself on running one of the toughest camps, and he expects it to pay off.

"When season comes around I feel like we're going to be very confident," he said.
