![]() ![]() It went Mahomes, Gabbert, Buechele, and then back to the first team again. Oladokun has run with the fours all camp thus far and when I was there he didn't even get reps in team drills. The fourth quarterback on the roster is Chris Oladokun from North Dakota State who was a 7th-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Patrick Mahomes is obviously number one and they brought in veteran Blaine Gabbert to be the primary backup if Mahomes misses any time. Shane Buechele seems pretty cemented in K.C.'s third quarterback spot. ![]() While the rest of the roster battles in this piece will be head-to-head battles between specific players, this one is a little different. QB - Shane Buechele (12) vs an Extra Roster Spot ![]() The first battle involves KC's third string quarterback fighting for a roster spot versus multiple opponents. I've even provided the jersey numbers for the guys involved since some of them are new. So to help you stay engaged throughout the game I've got a list of roster battles to keep an eye on as the game plays out. If you know which players on the field are actually competing for a roster spot as opposed to just being a camp body, focusing on them makes bad preseason football watchable. It's at that point when I need specific players to focus on to keep the game interesting. Let's be honest here, as hyped as we all are to watch the Chiefs play a game for the first time this season, when that second half kicks off, the quality of football can be hard to watch. The starting wideout rotation in general is a fun battle to watch, but I don't know how long we'll get to see the guys involved in that battle. Players like Justyn Ross and Deneric Prince have received a ton of hype during camp and are definitely players to watch, but they'll likely be done by halftime. Then the second team will come in and there will be several names that fans know and are still excited to watch. Historically, head coach Andy Reid will let his starters have a drive or two in the first preseason game. Yet as the Chiefs starters quickly exit the game what players should fans pay close attention to? The Chiefs play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and most fans will be thrilled to watch when the game starts. Yes, it's a preseason game, but we still get to see the 2023 Chiefs take the field and play for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made it to the first Kansas City Chiefs game of the year. ![]()
