Both Herman Edwards and quarterback Brodie Croyle said that Charles is the fastest player they had seen. Charles beat a cornerback and a safety to the sideline for a big gain on a toss play Tuesday.

Our View:Charles is faring well so far in his bid to serve as Larry Johnson's primary backup. He is battling second-year pro Kolby Smith for the job. Smith was unable to compete Tuesday due to a groin ailment.

Jamaal Charles has impressed the coaching staff of the Chiefs with his speed and ability to make defenders miss when in open space. His early spring workouts have been so impressive that he reportedly a lock to make the team, and the staff has already designed specific packages so they can take advantage of his skill-set.

Our View:The Chiefs first of two third-round picks (76th overall) will challenge incumbent backup Kolby Smith for playing time this summer. He currently has no fantasy value despite his impressive spring.
