Chiefs Rumors: Dwayne Bowe struggling in training camp
By Josh Hill
The Kansas City Chiefs made a miraculous turnaround in the 2013 season, going from having the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to making the postseason. They were bounced by the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round, but the Chiefs looked great at times during the season which is encouraging for their 2014 campaign.

That being said, not everyone was great for the Chiefs in 2013 and it’s looking like we could see more struggles in 2014 from one player Kansas City needs a lot more out of.
According to ESPN.com Chiefs blogger Adam Teicher, the Chiefs have not gotten their money’s worth out of wide receiver Dwayne Bowe so far since signing him to a long term deal and training camp has not been giving the team any signs that such a trend will stop anytime soon.
"So their best chance to see dramatic improvement at the position may rest with Bowe. He had a tough day at practice on Wednesday, dropping a pair of passes and deflected another for an interception.That’s hardly an indication that Bowe won’t rebound this season. But he hasn’t had a great camp and the Chiefs may be guilty of wishful thinking when it comes to their top wide receiver."
Bowe needs to be a lot better in 2014 as he’s a guy that Alex Smith is looking to rely on as a deep threat. Smith doesn’t throe the deep ball often, but when he does, he needs his best receiver to be there to make plays happen and so far that just hasn’t been what Bowe has been all about.
