Clyde Edwards-Helaire talks about fourth season with Chiefs

Craig McMullen

The Kansas City Chiefs began training camp indoors at Missouri Western State University Aug. 4. 


Thunderstorms kept the team inside for the first half of practice before making their way to the outdoor field for the second half. 


"So as long as there’s no lightning, it’s all good,” coach Andy Reid said. “We’ll come out and work, and somewhere that will pay off for us down the road.”


Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is preparing for his fourth season with the Chiefs. In his first three seasons with the Chiefs, he had 11 rushing and six receiving touchdowns, 1,622 rushing yards and 577 receiving yards. He said his mindset going into this season is the same as every year.


“Whenever my number’s called, I will be there to do my job and do what I need to do as far as being on the field as a running back.” Edwards-Helaire said.


He is from Baton Rouge, LA and played college football at LSU where he won the national championship in the Caesars Superdome with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. 


Edwards-Helaire will be making a return to Louisiana when the Chiefs play their first preseason game against the New Orlean Saints Aug. 13. 


“I’m excited man. I already got doctors, the little softball team that I go and check on in the summer, my dad and my whole family,” Edwards-Helaire said. “Whenever I am in the Superdome its been something special for me. I won a national championship and a high school championship there.”

With Rashee Rice or without Rice, the new-look Kansas City Chiefs will get tested early. With the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers, they play their last two AFC Championship game and their last Super Bowl opponent by week seven.

We have known who and where the Chiefs' 2024 opponents are since the conclusion of the 2023 season, but on Wednesday we will find out when. Games get leaked the days leading up to the release, so unless the NFL cleans up some of that, we may know the answers to a lot of questions before Wednesday evening. This morning, for instance, the NFL announced the Baltimore Ravens will be the ones kicking off the NFL season at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Before diving in, let’s check out who the Chiefs have on the docket in 2024 in their quest for a three-peat.

Amid the Rashee Rice uncertainty, general manager Brett Veach is bringing in a former second-round pick and seven-year vet to potentially add to the wide receiver room. Former Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is reportedly visiting with Kansas City on Thursday.

As the great Terez Paylor used to say, “The contract year is undefeated.” The Chiefs have no shortage of players entering a contract year, which was always going to be the case when you have a draft like the one they had in 2021.

If the Chiefs needed to suit up tomorrow, they absolutely could and they would be the odds on Super Bowl favorites doing so. Kansas City, however, has a chance to do something no one has ever done before in winning three Super Bowls in a row. General manager Brett Veach also has more cap space to play with than he normally does at this point in the offseason, so just because he has a largely complete roster does not mean he is done adding.

Each Kansas City Chiefs team has had a definite identity throughout the Patrick Mahomes era. In those six seasons, they have made the AFC Championship game every year and hoisted three Lombardi’s, but no team was made equal. In 2024, when the Chiefs attempt to be the first team in NFL History to win three Super Bowls in a row, it truly feels like both their offense and defense could be top-five units.

I do not envy general Brett Veach who has to dwindle the Kansas City Chiefs roster from 90 to 53 this coming September. When you go through the exercise of making a way too early 53-man roster projection, some players with upside or experience will have to be left off of the roster. At running back, however, it is anybody’s guess who those three or four players will be.

The Chiefs have had quite the offseason in extending their own amid a dynasty. After making Patrick Mahomes the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by re-working his deal last September, the Chiefs have gone on to extend Chris Jones, Andy Reid, Brett Veach and now Travis Kelce.

The Kansas City Chiefs had quite the NFL Draft haul, especially when you consider the consensus NFL Draft big board. Not only did they lock in two potential starters at their two biggest positional needs, but they were able to select nearly all of their rookies below their projected slots.

Speed is officially back in Kansas City after making a trade with the Buffalo Bills to move up from 32 to pick 28 to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy. After the big run on wide receivers never really came, the Chiefs moved up to go get their man, taking the fifth wideout in the 2024 NFL Draft.
