WATCH: Chiefs rookie WR Rashee Rice makes long receptions vs. Cardinals

#Chiefs rookie Rashee Rice made two long gains in the first half of Kansas City’s preseason matchup against the #Cardinals.

The Kansas City Chiefs may have found a special player in Rashee Rice after selecting the promising receiver in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft back in April. His training camp highlight reel was impressive, and Rice has been heavily involved in Kansas City’s second preseason matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday.

Rice made his first long reception early in the second quarter, hauling in a catch on the sideline on a pretty pass from backup quarterback Shane Buechele.

He followed up the long gain by reeling in another of Buechele’s throws later in the quarter.

Plays like these are expected from second-round picks, and Rice seems uniquely positioned to have a standout rookie season catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.

It is too early to tell if efforts like those he put together against Arizona will be regular occurrences in the regular season, but his standout performance on Saturday feels like a first taste of what is to come in 2023.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette makes incredible catch at training camp practice

#Chiefs wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette came down with a great catch during Kansas City’s 1-on-1 drills at training camp on Tuesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a logjam at the wide receiver position with several players who have made their case for consideration to make the team’s 53-man roster.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette was the latest Chief to make a highlight play at Kansas City’s training camp practice on Tuesday when he came down with an incredible touchdown catch against Dicaprio Bootle in 1-on-1 drills.

The Chiefs posted a video of the grab to their Snapchat, which was later shared by the All Chief’d Up podcast on Twitter.

Plays like this will certainly help make Smith-Marsette’s case to make Kansas City’s final roster in September as the Chiefs coaching staff assesses their available talent ahead of the team’s title defense campaign.

Keep your eye on Smith-Marsette during Kansas City’s first preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. If he can come down with a few catches in key situations, he may warrant more looks as a potential fringe player on the Chiefs roster as the regular season draws closer.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Justyn Ross makes preposterous one handed touchdown catch

Justyn Ross’ incredible one-handed touchdown catch on Friday turned heads at #Chiefs training camp.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ investment in Justyn Ross seems to be paying off at their training camp practices. The second-year receiver has consistently made highlight-reel plays during nearly every workout that the team has conducted at Missouri Western State University, but his preposterous one-handed touchdown grab on Friday might be his best play yet.

Video of his spectacular catch set social media sits ablaze after the team’s drills concluded, and got love from the Chiefs’ official Twitter page, which gave fans their daily dose of Justyn Ross content when they posted a video of the incredible snag.

There was plenty of speculation about Kansas City’s receiving corps over the course of the offseason, but nothing could have prepared observers for the deluge of jaw-dropping clips put together by the group in St. Joseph.

Sure, they have the benefit of Patrick Mahomes slinging them the rock, but if plays like these are any indication of future performance, the reigning MVP might have six 1000-yard receivers in 2023.

WATCH: WR Ty Fryfogle reels in picturesque pass from Shane Buechele

Ty Fryfogle made an incredible catch at the #Chiefs’ Wednesday practice session, hauling in a well-placed pass from Shane Buechele.

Ty Fryfogle made the play of the day at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Wednesday practice session, making an absolutely superb catch that is sure to be on his highlight reel for a long time.

Quarterback Shane Buechele targeted him deep downfield during throwing drills despite tight coverage from defensive back Lamar Jackson, who couldn’t do anything but look up in amazement as Fryfogle dove to secure the ball and casually bounced up to trot toward the endzone.

The spectacular play was featured on the Chiefs’ official Twitter account, which posted a video of the catch shortly after the conclusion of Wednesday’s workout.

Fryfogle has proven to be an underrated asset for Kansas City’s second and third-team offensive units but faces an uphill battle to make the Chiefs’ final roster despite highlight reel plays like this at training camp.

However, other teams around the league are sure to take notice of his incredible catchings and ability to come down with balls against tight coverage, which could be enough to get him on the field with a receiver-needy team in 2023.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Nikko Remigio makes astounding catch vs. CB L’Jarius Sneed

#Chiefs receiver Nikko Remigio made an unbelievable leaping catch against L’Jarius Sneed during Kansas City’s Sunday practice session.

Highlights from the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp practices in St. Joseph just keep pouring in, and undrafted receiver Nikko Remigio was the latest of the team’s pass catchers to make an unbelievable grab during workouts on Sunday.

Working against cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, Remigio lept high in the air, turning his body mid-flight to adjust to a well-placed pass before hauling the ball in and landing hard on the ground. Video of the catch was shared on some of the Chiefs’ social media pages but was posted to Twitter by user @InHarmsWay19.

This magnificent snag looked like something straight out of a “Madden” video game and is sure to buy Remigio favor with Kansas City’s fans ahead of the Chiefs’ three-game preseason schedule.

Watch for Remigio to continue making stellar plays like this in practice as he fights for a spot on Kansas City’s 53-man roster or practice squad for the Chiefs’ 2023 campaign.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Justyn Ross makes nifty adjustment to catch Patrick Mahomes pass

Justyn Ross made an incredible adjustment to haul in this pass from Patrick Mahomes during the #Chiefs’ Sunday practice session.

The Kansas City Chiefs offense is humming at training camp practices in St. Joseph, Missouri as they prepare for the 2023 regular season.

Among the most impressive players participating in workouts has been second-year receiver Justyn Ross, who is making his case for a roster spot daily at Missouri Western State University.

Ross added to his highlight reel yesterday at Kansas City’s Sunday practice session, hauling in a pass from Patrick Mahomes after making a nifty adjustment while tracking the ball downfield. The Chiefs’ official Twitter account documented the majestic grab, posting a video of the play after workouts ended:

Plays like this are becoming routine for Ross, who missed his entire rookie season due to an injury he sustained in college at Clemson. Ross is among the most valuable prospects that Kansas City is hosting at training camp and should be considered a potential contributor ahead of their 2023 campaign wherein the Chiefs intend to defend their Super Bowl LVII title.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Skyy Moore hauls in show-stopping sideline catch

Skyy Moore hauled in this pass with a beautiful toe-tap on the sideline at the #Chiefs Saturday practice session in St. Joseph.

The Kansas City Chiefs receiving corps has put on an absolute show in St. Joseph during the first week of training camp, and second-year pass catcher Skyy Moore has been among the group’s top performers.

He made another highlight reel catch during Saturday’s practice session, hauling in a ball near the sideline with a pretty toe-tap to keep his feet in bounds. This play was featured by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account, which posted a video of the grab shortly after practice.

Moore is one of the players who will look to step up in the absence of veteran receiver Kadarius Toney, who went down with an injury earlier in the week. With plays like this becoming routine for Moore at training camp practices, it is fair to wonder whether he might be able to unseat Toney and deep-treat Marquez Valdes-Scantling for one of the top spots on Kansas City’s depth chart heading into the regular season.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Justyn Ross makes catch after running stellar route

Justyn Ross ran one of the smoothest routes we’ve seen at #Chiefs training camp so far during Kansas City’s Saturday workouts.

The Kansas City Chiefs might have an all-out revolt on their hands if they don’t keep wide receiver Justyn Ross on their 53-man roster heading into the regular season. He continued to put on a show in practice today, catching a routine pass after running one of the prettiest routes that fans have seen to this point in the team’s training camp.

The play got love from the Chiefs’ official Twitter account, and posted a video of the grab to the social media site:

Clips like this are why Ross has become something of an obsession in Chiefs Kingdom, and make the prospect of seeing him in preseason action all the more intriguing.

Ross missed all of the 2022 season due to an injury he sustained in college at Clemson, but was a highly touted prospect in last year’s draft class. If his training camp highlight reel is any indication, Ross could be destined for stardom in Andy Reid’s offense with Patrick Mahomes throwing him the ball.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Justin Watson building chemistry with Patrick Mahomes

Justin Watson hauled in an impressive diving catch at the Chiefs’ Wednesday workouts, building rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Wide receiver Justin Watson was one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ unsung heroes in 2022 and quietly became one of Patrick Mahomes’ most reliable targets.

A veteran presence in the Chiefs’ exceptionally young receiving corps, Watson has been hard at work at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, hauling in a highlight reel catch at Wednesday’s workouts.

It seems that Watson and Mahomes are picking up where they left off last season after this jaw-dropping effort. Plays like this will help the pair develop chemistry together that is sure to pay dividends when the 2023 regular season kicks off in September.

Watson managed an impressive 21 yards per reception last year, bringing in 15 passes for a total of 315 yards and two touchdowns en route to the second Super Bowl championship of his career. If he can continue making strides at Kansas City’s workouts, he should be considered a lock to make the Chiefs’ 53-man roster.

WATCH: RB Deneric Prince makes diving catch at Chiefs training camp

Deneric Prince made his first highlight reel play during the #Chiefs’ practice session on Monday.

Deneric Prince is one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ most hyped prospects as an undrafted rookie entering the 2023 season and has already started making a great first impression on fans at the team’s training camp practices in St. Joseph, Missouri.

On Monday he came down with an incredible catch during team drills, making a difficult adjustment look easy as he hauled in a pass from Patrick Mahomes.

As the offense was working near the end zone, it is safe to assume that the catch would have counted for a touchdown had it occurred during a game, but for now the highlight reel effort was worth the price of admission for those in attendance at Missouri Western State University.

Prince will face an uphill battle to make the Chiefs’ final 53-man roster, but his talent is undeniable. Plays like this will warrant more looks with the first and second team when Kansas City’s coaching staff reviews his tape, and with some luck, Prince should see a significant volume of snaps in the Chiefs’ preseason games next month.
