ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) _ Kansas City rookie defensive end Chris Jones gained

attention in the Chiefs’ preseason opener.



The team’s first pick of this year’s draft had two tackles against Seattle and

pressured quarterbacks. He also helped thwart a fourth-and-1 attempt in Kansas

City territory.



Coach Andy Reid says Jones was able to “reach out and grab people.”



Jones is 6-foot-6 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan.



Jones is second on Kansas City’s unofficial depth chart behind Jaye Howard at

left defensive end. He’s the only rookie listed on the first or second string on

defense.
