The Chiefs want their rookie receiver out of Georgia to be a starter one day.

That day could come sooner than they anticipated, though. According to ESPN, Chris Conley took snaps with the starters after injuries held Jeremy Maclin and Albert Wilson out of minicamp.

The third-round receiver bypassed more veteran options like Da'Rick Rogers and the Junior Hemingway for snaps. And he certainly sounded thankful for the chance.

"Every rep I get to take with the (starters) is important because either I'm showing the potential of what I can be," he told ESPN.
