Second-year wide receiver Nikko Remigio has gained a cult following during the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp in St. Joseph and will get a chance to put his talents on display this weekend when the defending champions face the Jacksonville Jaguars in preseason action.
Though Remigio isn’t the most physically dominant pass-catcher, his ability to find open space against defenders and come down with difficult catches would make him a natural fit in Andy Reid’s offense this season.
The Fresno State product has been making his case for a spot on Kansas City’s 53-man roster, and helped his cause by making this outstanding catch during workouts this week:

While Remigio’s performance at training camp has been superb, his future with the Chiefs is anything but certain heading into Kansas City’s first preseason exhibition.
If he can translate his success on the practice field into a stellar performance against Jacksonville on Saturday, Remigio may be able to overtake Skyy Morre or Justyn Ross on the Chiefs’ unofficial depth chart.
