The worst position group in the league last season, marked by the dubious distinction of failing to record a single receiving touchdown, received a top-heavy makeover and appears ready to make it’s mark on the 2015 season.
Two draft picks along with a high-level free-agent acquisition help to bring fresh faces and outlook to what will easily be one of the top story lines as the Kansas City Chiefs slog to training camp. Let’s take a look at the wide receivers, who need to be greatly improved for Kansas City to have success.
The current wide receiver roster as we head into the second week of training camp:
(Editor’s note: This was written prior to signing L’Damian Washington)
Jason Avant, 81, Michigan
Armon Binns, 14, Cincinnati
Da’Ron Brown, 4, Northern Illinois
Chris Conley, 17, Georgia
Kenny Cook, 6, Gardner-Webb
Frankie Hammond, 85, Florida
Junior Hemingway, 88, Michigan
