The Kansas City Chiefs have been trying to find consistency from the wide receiver spot ever since they traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, and have struggled to find that so far. That may be changing this season, though.
When it comes to the Chiefs’ offense, having a stable passing game with Patrick Mahomes under center is crucial for them, but it is something that has been lackluster the last few seasons, resulting in Mahomes having to rely more frequently on Travis Kelce to be his reliable receiving target.
They tried to solve things by drafting Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, but with both having dealt with off-field issues, along with Rice working his way back from a knee injury that ended his season, the group has not been able to show the consistency needed for them to be relied on yet.
The Chiefs needed a solution to their wide receiver issues, and they may have just found that in the 2025 NFL Draft in Jalen Royals.

Jalen Royals Will Be the Kansas City Chiefs’ Best Wide Receiver
The Kansas City Chiefs went on the draft Jalen Royals in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This comes after a season in which Royals went on to have 839 yards and six touchdowns over 55 receptions in just seven games. Over his entire time at Utah State, Royals finished with 1,923 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Jalen Royals has the instincts and awareness that help him thrive at any level on the football field. Royals’ body control is also extremely impressive, which will help make him a go-to target for Patrick Mahomes early on.
With Jalen Royals’ 6’0, 205 pound frame, he is able to work through contested catch situations with ease, which will also help him emerge as a top weapon for the Chiefs.
There is the chance that Rice misses time with a suspension, and if that is the case, it leaves the door wide open for Jalen Royals to earn more opportunities early on, and become the next star wide receiver that the Chiefs need.
