As for what’s next in the Chiefs receivers group, moreso than Tyreek Hill—who’s electric but more of a gadget weapon—the name to watch is DeMarcus Robinson, a 2016 fourth-rounder who had good but not great production for the quarterback-troubled Florida teams he played for in college. The Chiefs like his route-running and ball skills, as well as the fact that Robinson is really natural catching the ball.
Meanwhile, Maclin was in Buffalo this week and will be in Baltimore on Thursday, and there’s plenty of evidence he’s still got something left in the tank. One contender discussed internally the idea of moving on from a prominent and productive veteran receiver on a reasonable contract and replacing him with Maclin. And it could still happen, which tells you that there’s still very much a place for the eight-year vet somewhere in the league. As one NFC pro scouting director sees it, “I don’t think he’s a true No. 1, but he still has juice left. Surprisingly, he made the contested catch look easy last year.”
