Vanderbilt WR Justice Shelton-Mosley
I’ve gone back and forth quite a bit on which receiver has the best chances of making the Chiefs’ roster. Shelton-Mosley’s teammate Kalija Lipscomb tied the second-most guaranteed money, so he’d be a good bet. At the same time, the thing that will earn a UDFA a roster spot at the wide receiver position in Kansas City is a standout performance on special teams.
Dave Toub has already said that he doesn’t know if Mecole Hardman will be utilized much on special teams this season, so the Chiefs are in need of a return specialist. They specifically told Shelton-Mosley that’s what they were looking for too.
Shelton-Mosley was an All-Ivy first-team return specialist at Harvard in 2017. He was a standout in the return game throughout his career at Harvard with 30 kickoff returns for 739 yards and 44 punt returns for 634 yards and three touchdowns during his career. He didn’t see much action when he transferred to Vanderbilt, but the Chiefs clearly see something they like here.
