Ex-Chief Priest Holmes Mentoring RB Dantrell Savage

Posted By: MediaGuy 06-29-2009 , 11:05 AM	#1

Perhaps because he was once one himself, Priest Holmes has an affinity for undersized, undrafted Chiefs running backs who previously played for a Big 12 school. That could explain why Holmes, who retired from the Chiefs and professional football two years ago, will mentor Dantrell Savage before the Chiefs head off for training camp late next month. That would be one of the best things for me between now and training camp, said Savage, a 5-foot-8, 182-pound running back who joined the Chiefs last year from Oklahoma State. We have a lot of the same features, our size and height and also being a free agent (out of college) trying to make it. Basically, I cant lose. Hes basically going to show me the ropes, just fill my head with information about how to make it in the NFL and also how to make it once football is gone. He knows how hard it is for a free-agent running back to make it in the NFL. Its also hard on me because Im small and a lot of times small guys in the league dont last long. Small guys have to work harder and show you want the job.
