*****The Antonio Callaway Thread***** (Nope, not a rookie.)
Shout out to Dante84 for all the great rookie threads. Thank you sir. (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.)

Don't sleep on this guy. He signed a futures contract with the Chiefs awhile back. He had three 100 yard receiving games for the FL gators back in 2015. Flashed with the Browns. Might make the opening day roster. We'll see. (Just hoping he doesn't go full-on Dwayne Bowe again. In his defense, he was being coached by Todd Haley when he got caught with weed. That's probably who sold it to him. Damn hippie golf pros. )







Why the KC Chiefs may have passed on wide receiver in Round 2

After allowing starting wideout Sammy Watkins to depart in free agency, who signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, the K.C. Chiefs were left with a big hole in the starting lineup. Watkins’ productivity will not be easy to replace.

The Chiefs do have a few players on the roster who will compete to step up into the WR2 role on the depth chart, but most of Chiefs Kingdom was in favor of choosing a pass catcher with one of the team’s two picks at the end of Round 2 in the 2021 NFL Draft..

With several quality receivers on the board that fit the lineup, the Chiefs looked the other way at pick No. 58. They did it again at No. 63.

Ignoring the position twice doesn’t speak to me as much about Demarcus Robinson or Mecole Hardman. Those two are, by and large, known commodities. We know what they can do. There’s also third year wideout Byron Pringle, however, the player this makes me reconsider is roster newcomer Antonio Callaway.

The Chiefs inked Callaway to an NFL futures contract in January, and the team has been pretty hush-hush around his progress. Callaway’s ceiling is markedly higher than that of Robinson or Pringle, and his skill set matches Watkins more than Hardman’s does.

Callaway played at Florida, and was a teammate of Robinson’s in 2015. Originally a 4th round selection by John Dorsey while he was the general manager for the Cleveland Browns, Callaway has excellent athleticism and ball skills. He is 5’11” and 200 lbs. He also boasts a 4.4 second time in the 40-yard dash and is explosive in the open field. His ability to generate yards after the catch is superb. He is absolutely capable of being a starting wide receiver in the NFL, and it’s important to remember that Veach just singled him out when talking about WR options before the draft.

The only reason Callaway has struggled to stay on a roster is his character concerns; the former Florida Gator has failed multiple drug tests in college and in the pros. Now 24 years old, Callaway gets a fresh start in Kansas City and has the tools to blossom into the player the Chiefs need, if he has matured as a young adult.

A reclamation project with outstanding athleticism and low expectations can make for a great combination. The Chiefs may have other plans at the position, but the cupboard is not bare.

The Chiefs aggressively trying to sign JuJu suggests they want a more significant veteran WR upgrade than a long shot January futures signing.

He will add a veteran after camp cuts, no doubt about it

only if cheap... this oline will make stars out of #2, 3's and 4 receivers with Patrick having time and being able to run the ball. Pick your poison defenses...

Juju would have been great. But since he’s not here & the FO/coaching staff truly believe in competition: this guy could grow into a legit starter. Time will tell. I love long shots. Especially when they pay off. If BV finds a better option, I’m down. Bartholomew VEACH ftw.

Fair point, Mahomes will hardly know what to do with himself given all the time he'll have... this new line opens up a whole new world of possibility

There's noting wrong with looking outside big name FA and the draft for players. I don't know what we pay futures guys, but it can't be much so why not roll the dice. More than likely he'll be a camp body, but there's always a chance he might be something.

Callaway’s ceiling is markedly higher than that of Robinson means he doesn't run backwards or drop easy TD passes.

Watkins’ productivity will not be easy to replace. What, all 37 catches for 421?? Or does the writer call time in the trainng room productive?

Let's not bet on this guy to lead us to the SB.
