Kansas City Chiefs’ rookies bond in the perfect way at KC Current game between OTAs practice sessions
The Kansas City Chiefs’ 2026 NFL Draft class and UDFAs were invited to attend the KC Current vs. Boston Legacy match at CPKC Stadium on Saturday. A perfect opportunity to see how Kansas City celebrates its sports teams.
Kansas City Chiefs players completed their first group of OTAs on Thursday, May 28. They’ll reconvene on Monday, June 1 for their second group of practices. That left a few quick days for rookie players to get acquainted with their teammates and their new city.
The vast majority of the Chiefs’ rookie class went on a little field trip this weekend to check out one of the teams that star QB Patrick Mahomes has an ownership stake in. They took in an NWSL game in Kansas City, Missouri, at CPKC Stadium to see the KC Current take on Boston Legacy FC.
Chiefs rookies take in KC Current’s match against Boston Legacy FC on Saturday
In partnership with the United Way KC, the KC Current hosted the majority of the Chiefs’ rookie class for their game against the Boston Legacy on Saturday, May 30. That included draft picks such as Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods, R. Mason Thomas, and Emmett Johnson. There were also a bunch of UDFAs in attendance. It was truly the perfect way for the group of players to bond ahead of their next OTAs practice session. They got to see firsthand how the city supports their sports teams.
The Chiefs posted a big album of the rookies’ trip to see the Current play on their Instagram page.
KSHB-TV’s Matt Foster also spotted the rookie class in attendance at the game.
The Current won the game against the Legacy, 1-0, with striker Temwa Chawinga scoring her 15th career regular-season match-winning goal. It seems fitting that this happened when her hair was dyed red with the Chiefs’ rookies in attendance.
There’s more than a month to go until the next KC Current match, so this was the perfect opportunity for the rookies to take in a game. You can watch the KC Current in the NWSL Challenge Cup final on June 26 at 7:00 p.m. CT.
