Whether they were drafted, signed as a college free agent or are simply here on a tryout basis, the Kansas City Chiefs will host 69 players at their rookie minicamp this weekend at the University of Kansas Hospital Training Complex.

The complete list of players participating is at the bottom of the page.

These guys will go through all of the drills, learn the schemes and for lack of a better explanation, get a crash course of what will be expected of them at the NFL level.

"We all know the first day of practice, guys are trying to catch their breath, get familiar with the surroundings," Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said. "I just want to watch them move around athletically. I think we've done our due diligence in their ability to play the game of football.

"Now, it's the first time we get to see them as Kansas City Chiefs."

All nine of the Chiefs' draft picks will be in attendance this weekend, including both their first and third-round picks, cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson, who won't be able to attend OTAs that begin later this month due to NFL rules in regards to their graduation dates.

The Chiefs' second-round pick, former Missouri Tiger Mitch Morse, can't wait to get on the field wearing his new uniform.

"It's unbelievably exciting," Morse said. "This has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I'm feeling very fortunate to have the opportunity to do it."

After spending a few days around the facilities already, Morse had nothing but positive things to say about his experience in Kansas City thus far.

"I could see why Kansas City has the reputation of having some of the greatest guys in the locker room," Morse said. "Nothing but great people, selfless people, guys who as a collective unit just want to win football games."

The players will have a walkthrough in the morning, then a scripted practice in the afternoon. The camp begins on Saturday and runs through Monday.

"They'll sit down with their individual position coaches and they will get certain schemes installed so they can perform on the field," Dorsey explained.

While Morse and the other eight draft picks dive into their new playbooks and learn their new schemes and terminology, many of the players in attendance are trying to impress those watching while on a tryout basis.

Dorsey explained the reason for having so many tryout guys in attendance.

"You want to be able to fully practice with multiple units in place," he explained. "I think that's why you increase the numbers that are invited to minicamp. It gives you another opportunity to see—you know what? Maybe this guy does belong.

"Then you watch that as they athletically move around in practice and see how they talk to the coaches and see how they absorb the playbook, see if it's a natural progression or not."

He continued.

"I think we've done a nice job over the years in terms of signing some tryout guys, and hopefully this year will be no different.

"I just like to watch them move around and see if they fit in."

While the veterans have been working out for the past few weeks with the training staff, Dorsey said there's nothing like this time of the year.

"Everybody's back in rhythm," he said. "Everybody's back and football is finally here. You sit here and you watch the grass grow all spring and all of a sudden they start painting the numbers on the field.

"There's no better feeling in the world than watching them paint those numbers on the field."

Here is the complete list of players particpating in this weekend's rookie minicamp.

• 41 of the 69 players are trying out

• Six of the players hit the league requirements to participate this weekend that gained experience last year (WR Fred Williams, TE Adam Schiltz, OL Curtis Feigt, CB Aaron Hester, CB Deji Olatoye, LS James Winchester).
