This week, we took a look at the three Olympians competing in Sochi who have ties to Kansas or Missouri. Emily Scott is from Springfield, Missouri, Pete Yemm is right down the street, a native of Overland Park, Kansas and Lt. Dan Cnossen is from Topeka, Kansas. Read their stories here.
Also, the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine begins this week and Chiefs insider, Reid Ferrin, showed us the 13 players with local ties that are scheduled to participate at the event.
Plus, we took a look back at the Combine numbers from five Chiefs, including Eric Fisher, Eric Berry, Dontari Poe, Justin Houston and Dexter McCluster.
And in case you missed it, I started a new series, Employee Spotlight. This past week, I interviewed Chiefs Team Photographer Steve Sanders to hear about his daily responsibilities, shooting the Super Bowl, the Chiefs Cheerleader Calendar and the games at Arrowhead.
Now, let's check out what's happening on social media in this week's edition of Chiefs Weekly.
