The first training camp practice isn't until Sunday, but Chiefs quarterbacks and rookies reported to St. Joseph on Tuesday to begin work.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes says his advice to the rookies is to get ready to be worked hard as they begin their first training camp.
"Obviously St. Joe is an amazing spot to have camp and we come out here and have a lot of fun but you've got to be ready to work," Mahomes tells reporters. "I told them if you can get through Andy Reid's training camp then you're going to be able to get through an NFL season, I think they just have to have that mindset."
"They got a taste of it during OTA's and that minicamp but they're going to really see what it's like in training camp and they know that if they do it the right way they have as good a chance as anybody to win that Super Bowl."
Head Coach Andy Reid says now that training camp is here the rookies on the team will start to get more of a feel for the NFL and the team’s expectations.
"I think you're a little bit guarded just by the rules for your OTA's but it's a good foundation to build with," Reid says to media during the press conference. "But this here will test you both mentally and physically when you have to go through a training camp, and then they have to deal with you guys every day, it's just different."
Reid says it will also provide the opportunity for players to have more eyes on them with all the fans that come out to Training Camp
Veterans will report later this week. The first camp practice will be held on Sunday at 9:15am.
