Chiefs look to non-Pro Bowlers for 2026 season success
Summary

Simmons has shown promise protecting Patrick Mahomes’ blind side, while Worthy is expected to step up as the top wide receiver. Karlaftis must return to his 2023 form to enhance the defense's pass rush. Training camp is expected to highlight these players' contributions as the team strives to reclaim its previous dominance.
