Kevin Haskin: Big returns top highlight from Chiefs' first exhibition
By Kevin Haskins
Excerpt from the Topeka Capital Journal
"KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Gosh it sure is easy to love a new flame that flickers brightly. For the Kansas City Chiefs, two fleet rookies provided a couple of nitro burnouts Thursday that left any memories of Dexter McCluster in the duster.

Excerpt from The Kansas City Star
