Super Bowl: GM Brett VEACH GM BRETT VEACH Holds City City Tannika – San Bernardino County Sun

By Dave Skreta AP sports writer

Kansas City, Mo. – Kansas City bosses coach Andy Reed first met with Bret Wich after being recommended for an internship with his Philadelphia eagles.

One of the many VEACH tasks? Expiring for a random lunch order.

Cheeseburgers were common.

During all these years later, VEACH has still been delivering goods to Reed, only now as a general manager of the chief franchise, who pursues an unprecedented third successive title by Super Bowl. Veach is the one who is free to return the list every year and whose collection of players will face the Philadelphia eagles on Sunday night in New Orleans.

“You can see more from his energy and how smart he is,” Reed told the Associated Press. “Then his passion for the players from him. Those guys who came in, I gave them the opportunity to either go staff or football, and he was so passionate about digging with him and finding boys. “

Veach made his time as a coaching trainee by spending the bigger part of four years in the role. He not only learned the nuances of identifying perspectives – something that Reed to a large extent dealt with fillets – but also what the big red appreciates to the players in his team.

This will be invaluable over the years.

Veach was promoted to a coaching assistant, then moved into a reconnaissance role and helped identify Desean Jackson, Lesean McCoy and Fletcher Cox, all players who were significant participants in the success of the Eagles while Reed was the coach.

“All those guys, he throws these guys at my desk, saying,” You have to get these guys, “Raid recalled with a smile. “He just had an eye and a skill for that, and that didn’t change.”

This experience is the reason for Reed to bring Veach with him to Kansas City in 2013, hiring the former Delaware receiver – and teammate of the coordinator of offensives of the chiefs Matt Nagi – as an analyst for college and college staff.

Two years later, Veach was promoted to a player’s co-director. And when the chiefs continued from John Dorses, they gave the work of GM to Veach, making it one of the youth in NFL at the time.

The final project with Dorsey, who was in charge, became largely known because of VEACH: he stood up in the room of the draft that night and lobbied – he insisted, even the fact that Kansas City is trading to choose a weapons protector from Texas Tech.

Veach had delivered his franchise defender at Patrick Mahomes.

“With Brett, he begins at the beginning of the extra -season period and what incredible work he does to assemble this team,” said chairman of the chiefs Clark Hunt. “This is an incredible achievement to continue to turn the list every year.”

In fact, the superiors who have won their first Super Bowl title for five decades in the 2019 season are much different from the superiors who go for historic three bags this season. They have discarded massive Mahomes contracts, a narrow near Travis Kels, a defensive supply Chris Jones and others, and yet they have been able to massage the salary cap in such a way that they continue to include their largest holes.

You can sign a wide receiver, marked Brown for a contract suitable for the club. Or running back Karim to chase the sofa when no one else wanted it. Or it can be through the draft, where the degree of VEACH strikes on all from the corner of Trent McDuffie to cross the ruins of George Carlaftis to a quick wide receiver Xavier is worthy of virtually unmatched throughout the league.

“He and his crew there in the staff department – he did an exceptional job,” Reed said on Tuesday. “He did it because he was in this position and no more than this year.”

Veach is too modest to take all the merit. But he admits he is part of the team efforts that support Kansas City at the top.

“He returns to Clark’s management. Clark does a great job to save – I’m super aggressive and this can be dangerous. The presence of Clark’s management and guidance was a blessing, “Vic said.

“This is a great balance in which he gives me the green light when he feels appropriate, but at the same time we try to be smart and very determined in what we do.

“At the same time,” Vicch continued, “we have a good group here.” We plan to be successful for a long time. We just have to be smart. This is a delicate balance of being disciplined and aggressive. There is a fine balance and this is a complete effort between my staff and Clark and the coaching staff. “
