A few days into training camp, that's exactly what he's doing. Spagnuolo spoke to Chiefs reporters on Thursday from training camp and said he'd already seen a difference from Gilman's minicamp performance to practice at St. Joseph. Gilman was a big-ticket signing for the Chiefs in an important offseason that featured wholesale changes in the defensive backfield. Steve Spagnuolo needed Alohi Gilman to slot right in as a veteran leader, and he's doing exactly that early in Chiefs camp. So it's been a little bit harder to get the shell out of them a little more," Gilman said.
