The Chiefs have tied down Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones on long-term contract extensions this month. They are aiming at building a dynasty of their own just like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick did at theNew England Patriots from 2000.
The Chiefs have gone one step further in achieving that goal by getting highly-rated rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to sign his first deal. Here is what the youngster had to say after signing his first professional NFL deal since leaving LSU.
