The Kansas City Chiefs' virtual offseason continued on Friday as rookie tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire, offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz and kicker Harrison Butker spoke with the media via web call.
Here are five things that stood out from those pressers.
1. Edwards-Helaire was asked about his early impressions of the Chiefs' running back group over the last several weeks as part of the virtual offseason program.
Edwards-Helaire - who tallied 1,414 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns and 55 receptions in 2019 as a member of the LSU Tigers – is joining a group that already includes tailbacks Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson, Darrel Williams, DeAndre Washington and Elijah McGuire.
"It's just like I was in the position that I was in three years ago when I walked into a room that Leonard [Fournette] had just left and included Derrius Guice, Nick Brossette and Darrel Williams, who I'm actually back with now. It was a stacked room and, ultimately, I went in to learn," Edwards-Helaire said. "If you can learn from guys who have experienced the things that you're about to encounter, you can only benefit from that. I'm the young guy in the room – I'm 21 years old – and right now, I'm learning. I'm a rookie, so I'm staying in my place and doing what I need to do."
2. One area in which Edwards-Helaire excels is his elusiveness, which helped him become one of the top running backs in all of college football last season. He spoke about that natural ability during the call and how he's constantly trying to improve it.
"It's something that I was born with, and ever since I've felt that it's a gift that I have, I've always tried to [improve] it, work on it and make it elite," Edwards-Helaire said. "Being quicker and faster than the next person is the name of the game and it's what I've made my game. Being quick and fast in small areas is the way I get open, it's the way I run the ball and it's why I ended up with the Kansas City Chiefs."
Edwards-Helaire averaged 6.68 yards-per-rush and 8.2 yards-per-catch in 2019, routinely showing off his elusive ability while helping LSU to a National Championship.
