This was a real unfortunate move on Kansas City’s behalf this young man is going to be a superstar. Quite frankly he is to good for Kansas City anyway. All a person has to do is look at his stats an watch any of his clips. Kansas City will regret this decision to let him go. If San Francisco has a brain one they will not let him get away.
