- Ex-Mizzou WR signs with Chiefs after impressive tryout at rookie camp
The Kansas City Chiefs made a bold move on Monday by signing former Missouri Tigers wide receiver Xavier Loyd after his impressive tryout at the team's rookie camp over the weekend.
Before joining the Tigers last year, Loyd played for two seasons at Kansas State Wildcat and spent the 2024 season with the Illinois State Redbirds.

Loyd only tallied a total of three receptions in three seasons of FBS football, but he made a great impression on the Chiefs' coaching staff during his tryout period and is now set to compete for a place on Kansas City's 53-man roster.
Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen reported Loyd's signing with Kansas City in a post to his official Twitter account:
While Loyd will face major headwinds in his effort to crack the Chiefs' final roster out of training camp, Mizzou fans in Western Missouri can look forward to seeing the former Tigers wideout in action during the preseason.
