Chiefs LB Nick Bolton is entering his second NFL season and feels confident, as he will be expected to make plays in the middle of Kansas City’s defense.
“I feel a thousand times better going into this training camp,” Bolton said, via ChiefsWire.com. “Again, I got all OTAs, a second OTAs underneath my belt and kind of got the scheme kind of settled in and so I’m excited for what we got going forward, feel very comfortable again. You know I’m just excited to get out there, I’m ready to get out there and showcase everything I’ve been doing.”
Bolton spoke about the opportunity to wear the green dot on his helmet as the team’s defensive play caller.
“It has been huge, getting the opportunity to actually focus on football,” Bolton said. “I’m actually doing things I feel like (will) help me on the football field and help our team better. So having the whole time since we got done with the season knowing what I wasn’t as good at and kind of getting a little bit better at those aspects of it and dissecting my play as well, that’s going to help our defense and help our team out. So, it’s beneficial for me just to be more flexible and kind of work on more specific drill-oriented things and also just work on things that are more specific to our skills rather than doing drills and stuff I feel like was more beneficial for me.”
