Chiefs’ Alex Smith building rapport with center Eric Kush By Terez Paylor - Kansas City Star “It remains to be seen who the Chiefs’ starting center will be come the fall — let’s face it, the battle between third‐year pro Eric Kush and second‐round rookie Mitch Morse won’t be decided until they can start hitting in training camp.” READ MORE… Tweet of the DayChiefs Daily Podcast // [](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chiefs-download-daily-podcast/id930050418?mt=2) Sound Off
