Marcus Kemp hopes he’s proven something to the Chiefs ahead of roster cutdown

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marcus Kemp spoke to reporters after Friday night’s 28-25 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings — a good indicator that he will make the team’s initial 53-man roster next week.

Kemp finished the game with three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown — a week after making a 36-yard catch against the Arizona Cardinals. Kemp attributed his breakthrough on offense this preseason to the environment this team has.

“As far as the receiver development,” the fifth-year player out of Hawaii said, “when you’re around guys like Tyreek (Hill), Travis (Kelce), D-Rob (Demarcus Robinson), all the pass-catchers, you kind of have no choice but to get better.
