Former Tide receiver Gehrig Dieter is set to crack the Chiefs’ rotation at WR in year four

Is Andy Reid starting to recognize the value of Gehrig Dieter?

Observations pointed in that direction after Sunday’s practice for the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to Charles Goldman of Chiefs Wire (part of USA TODAY Network), the tandem of Sammy Watkins (groin) and Byron Pringle (hamstring) both missed the session due to injuries. This presented Dieter an opportunity to be on the field with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and showcase his consistency at wide receiver.

Per Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star, Dieter was an absolute stud in team drills.
