The Facts: The 2023 Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver shuffle includes a bevy of question marks following the departures of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman. Much of the offseason queries have revolved around whether Kadarius Toney can stay healthy and develop into a No. 1 target and Skyy Moore raising his play in Year 2. But there is another wild card on the roster gaining steam early in training camp: Ross.

Diehards Line: As a freshman at Clemson in 2018, Ross flashed major upside, catching 46 passes for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, including some ridiculous grabs that portended an exciting NFL career. However, he missed all of 2020 after being diagnosed with Klippel-Feil syndrome, a congenital fusion of his spine requiring surgery. Ross went undrafted in 2022 amid injury concerns about his neck and back before latching on with the Chiefs. However, following foot surgery, he missed the entire Super Bowl run after going on injured reserve in July. Now, Ross has been getting some run with Patrick Mahomes and the 1s during camp practices and turning heads along the way. "Yeah, he's doing good. It was a redshirt year he probably didn't want to have right with the injury," HC Andy Reid said on Wednesday. "But he's done nice job, he had a good offseason, and then he's worked his tail off here. He just needs to keep doing that. It's how you answer the bell every day and push through it, but he's got the right mindset to do that." That redshirt season should help Ross push for playing time in the Chiefs' reshuffled wideout room, particularly if Toney continues to deal with injury and rookie Rashee Rice takes time to develop, but that doesn't necessarily make him draft worthy. We'll continue to watch for more.
