The Kansas City Chiefs retained 20 of their 22 starters from the Super Bowl, but the defending champions have not been able to plan workouts due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevertheless, the Chiefs are staying organized.

Head coach Andy Reid says the team has held virtual meetings, with a 100 percent attendance rate, to boot (via Charles Goldman of USA TODAY):

“. . .Our guys have attacked this whole deal with the virtual installs, the scheme evaluations that we did, all the plays from last year that we can learn from for this year,” said Reid. “The guys have gone back and it has been 100% attendance, which is ridiculous. These guys are into it. They want to learn and then we get to add the rookies in this thing in the next go around. We did have a three-day virtual rookie minicamp where we also could do some installs with them and get them caught up, sort of, to where they need to be.”

If nothing else, the strong attendance and institution of a virtual program speaks both to the cohesiveness of the organization as well as the culture which Reid has helped cultivate.

The Chiefs have won at least nine games in each of the seven seasons since Reid took over as head coach in 2013, and the recent history of success–plus the good fortune of having a generational player like Patrick Mahomes–led to the franchise's first Super Bowl since 1969.

Reid and the Chiefs are adapting to the present situation, which is a good sign considering some NFL teams have yet to establish offseason programs at all.
