Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City’s rookie tight end might be a player who could fill Travis Kelce’s role in the offense.
On Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, the Kansas City Chiefs used their third pick (in the fourth round at 131st overall) to select TCU tight end Jared Wiley.
Side-by-side comparisons between Wiley and Kansas City’s superstar tight end Travis Kelce immediately began to appear — one of them from our own Rocky Magaña.
Have the Chiefs finally found a successor for Kelce? They’ve certainly been looking.
Since he emerged as the team’s main tight end in 2014, [no...

Mostly Likely to Re-Ignite an Elite Offense En Route to a Three-Peat
The NFL is rightfully touted as a league chockfull of parity, but the Chiefs are kind of putting a stranglehold on professional football these days, winning a second-straight Super Bowl despite sporting a questionable offense for most of the season. The rich got richer over the weekend, with the Chiefs landing Texas wideout...

The general manager says that Kelce is a unicorn of sorts.
On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach held his annual post-draft press conference with the local Kansas City media via Zoom.
Before taking questions, Veach congratulated tight end Travis Kelce on the contract adjustment that makes him the highest-paid tight end in football over the next two seasons.
“He just signed it here a few minutes ago,” said Veach. “Hard to put into words what Travis means to this organization, this city — and [it] was certainly a priority to adjust his contact for us, and it...

Worthy is a 5-foot-11, 165-pound wide receiver out of Texas.
*Chiefs’ take: “He’s a good route runner, and he’s not a big kid or at least weight wise. He’s got good height. He’s just not very heavy, but I think you’ll see...

The wide receiver from Texas has more to his game than just speed.
With the 32nd pick of the first round, the Kansas City Chiefs selected wide receiver Xavier Worthy from the University of Texas. Worthy drew headlines by running the fastest 40-yard dash time ever recorded at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Worthy’s speed is unmatched, but he has plenty of other aspects to his game that will make him an exciting prospect.
Great speed comes with the ability to take the top off of defenses, and the Chiefs could not pass up a chance...

They don’t make many linemen who are as athletic as C.J. Hanson.
When the Kansas City Chiefs made the phone call to let former Holy Cross right guard CJ Hanson know that he would be the newest and final member of the Chiefs 2024 draft class with the 248th overall pick, he didn’t hold back.
Hanson immediately told head coach Andy Reid that he wanted to be part of this organization and was ready to fight for his roster spot.
“I’m so excited, coach,” said Hanson. “I’m so excited. I couldn’t be happier. I’m going to give you my...

Once again, Kansas City GM Brett Veach reached on only a couple of his selections.
With the weekend’s NFL Draft behind us, let’s take a closer look at which teams reached on their picks — or got the most value from them.
We can do this by subtracting each player’s overall pick number from their pre-draft prospect ranking — in this case, from Arrowhead Pride’s consensus prospect rankings. The resulting reach value tells us whether the team obtained good value from the pick (a negative number) or reached past the player’s value (a positive number).
Then by averaging the values...

On Saturday, the newest member of Kansas City’s Hall of Fame spoke of his amazing journey that continues today.
On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that their former defensive end Tamba Hali would be the team’s 52nd inductee into its Hall of Fame.
The five-time Pro Bowler — now 40 — was one of the team’s most consistent performers over a long period. Drafted under head coach Herm Edwards and general manager Carl Peterson, Hali retired while Andy Reid and Brett Veach were running the show. After his 11-year playing career, he has remained in Kansas City to serve...

Patrick Mahomes and Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs
Who decided that it was a good idea to let the Kansas City Chiefs pair Patrick Mahomes with the fastest player in the history of the combine? The Buffalo Bills, apparently, as Buffalo traded down so that Kansas City could take Texas’ Xavier Worthy with the 28th pick.
Mahomes can buy time in the pocket and make huge plays down the field as well...
