National ParksThe Chiefs hope to get RB Kareem Hunt more involved as a pass receiver than he was last year as a rookie and the key to accomplishing that is for Hunt to improve as a pass blocker. Hunt played on just 65 of Kansas City’s 200 third-down plays last season because the Chiefs weren’t sure they could trust Hunt as a pass blocker. “Obviously, last season he had a few struggles early in the season but he got better over the (course of) the season,’’ offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said. Hunt didn’t inspire confidence on Monday by whiffing on at attempted block of linebacker Terrance Smith during a 1-on-1 drill in practice. “It’s about your attitude and mindset,’’ Bieniemy said. “You’ve got to want to go hit a grown man. You’ve got to be able to sink your hips, make sure you focus on the right target, use your hands, place your body between that defender and the quarterback. After that, it just becomes a fight.’’
