nho123As the Kansas City Chiefs hit the field for Day 2 of their 2025 training camp at Missouri Western State University, there was no shortage of energy, intensity — and standout moments.
Here are the top takeaways from July 23:
1. Patrick Mahomes in Midseason Form
Despite it being only the second day of camp, Mahomes looked sharp and dialed in. His connection with rookie wide receiver Zayden Thomas is already drawing attention. The duo connected on multiple deep throws that had fans and coaches buzzing.
2. Defense Brings the Heat
Steve Spagnuolo’s defense showed up with purpose. The secondary tightened up in 7-on-7 drills, and second-year cornerback Jaylen Watson recorded a key interception that halted a red zone series. Chris Jones also made his presence known, getting past the offensive line for what would’ve been a sack in live play.
3. Rookie Watch: WR Zayden Thomas Turning Heads
Zayden Thomas, the Chiefs’ third-round pick, continues to impress. His speed, route running, and chemistry with Mahomes are already making a strong case for early playing time.
4. Injury Updates
Good news for Chiefs Kingdom: No major injuries to report. A few players, including linebacker Willie Gay Jr., were on a limited snap count for precautionary reasons.
5. Skyy Moore Showing Progress
After a quiet 2024 season, wide receiver Skyy Moore is making a case for a breakout year. He ran crisp routes and showed strong hands during full-team drills.
With just two days in, the Chiefs are already looking locked in and focused on the task ahead: defending their Super Bowl title. Day 3 promises even more action as pads come on and competition heats up.
Stay tuned for more camp coverage and player updates throughout the week.
