ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) On the first day of training camp, Alex Smith dropped back in a full-squad drill and lofted a pass toward Jeremy Maclin, who pulled it in and sprinted to the end zone.
Just like that, Maclin had scored more touchdowns - ONE - than all of the Kansas City Chiefs' wide receivers combined last season.
He had also showed why the Chiefs were so eager to sign him in free agency.
Without question, their pass-catching corps was among the least productive in the NFL last season, a big reason the Chiefs failed to make the playoffs.
