The Facts: There’s a belief that Bowe, who is listed at 6-2 and 221 pounds, could take a major step toward being a bigger factor in the offense by having a strong offseason of conditioning, something that Bowe himself acknowledged during a radio interview. “One thing I want to work on -- my endurance,” Bowe said. “I was really, really tired that last game.”

Diehards Line: To that end, Bowe said he plans on changing the way he eats, though he didn’t provide details. He said he played this year between 212 and 214 pounds but hopes to report to camp a little lighter to better fit the offense. “I probably want to play at 208 and try to be as quick and swift as possible, because that’s the kind of receivers that Andy had when he was in Philly,” Bowe said. “I’d like to be more explosive and faster than I was this season. I just want to work on my work ethic a little more and become quicker and faster so I can be like DeSean Jackson and those speedy, quick guys.” There’s little doubt the Chiefs need more from Bowe, who caught 57 passes for 673 yards and five touchdowns this year but is one of the league’s highest-paid receivers. The question is whether he'll follow through with the work and effort necessary to achieve his objectives. We'll be watching for more.
