- Chiefs insider highlights rookie UDFA as potential breakout candidate
The Kansas City Chiefs need to see significant improvement from their receiving corps next season after the team's pass-catchers turned in a disappointing performance in 2025.
While general manager Brett Veach failed to make significant investments in Kansas City's pass-catchers over the past few months, one of his signings after the 2026 NFL Draft has a huge opportunity to contribute to the Chiefs' offensive renaissance.
