As for now-former Chiefs WR Reggie Brown, he broke out in his senior year with James Madison, totaling 53 catches for 1,054 yards and nine touchdowns. He had a difficult challenge ahead of him, but with the Chiefs’ shortage of wide receiving depth and their selection of just one wideout in the draft, he had a genuine shot at contending for a roster position or, at the very least, a berth on the practice squad.
Last year, Brown recorded 53 receptions for 1,055 yards and a team-leading nine touchdowns.
