Army all-time leading receiver will have to earn a free-agent contract based on his performance. Trimble’s speed won’t turn heads in KC but his toughness and play-making ability should make it a no-brainer for the Chiefs to at least give him [...]

I’ve been told Williams and Bowden are getting reps in practice along with junior Carlo Sandiego. Sandiego ran the option at prep school and might be one of the few players on Army’s [...]
