Matt Nagy on training camp prep: Chiefs are ‘at the peak’ in St. Joseph
Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy knows how to get the most out of his players, and is looking to build on the team’s Super Bowl LVII victory heading into the 2023 season.
He spoke to reporters after practice on Thursday, and made his expectations for the Chiefs’ receivers clear, telling the media that their workload is nearing its peak at training camp in St. Joseph.
“We’re at the peak of our volume of plays at training camp, and there’s a lot of carry-over from other installs,” Nagy explained. “We have a lot of different rules within the offense. It is a little bit of an overload right now, which stresses them mentally, which means physically they really [have to] take it to the max. So, when we get to preseason, we pull back a little bit, and in that mode, we’re able to let them play fast because there isn’t as much volume. But we are kind of at the peak right now.”
Like last season, there are a number of players that are new to the Chiefs’ offensive system, especially within their wide receiver corps. Players like Justyn Ross, Nikko Remigio, and Rashee Rice are all being challenged daily at Kansas City’s training camp practices, and in time, will develop into seasoned pros with Nagy’s careful guidance.
