If a player can make a NFL squad in moment, perhaps Jehu Chesson did in the second quarter of Thursday’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans.
Fading back to haul in a punt that traveled 61 yards, Chesson gathered the ball at the 24 near the Titans sideline and started angling right.
He didn’t stop until reaching the end zone for the Chiefs’ first touchdown of the game.
For the second straight week, a Chiefs return team delivered a touchdown. Last week at Seattle, De’Anthony Thomas brought back a kickoff 95 yards.
This time it was Chesson, the rookie from Michigan and fourth-round selection who hadn’t authored much of a stats line in the first three preseason games.
