UDFA rumors: James Madison WR Reggie Brown to sign with the Chiefs

Former James Madison WR Reggie Brown is expected to sign with the Kansas City #Chiefs

The wide receiver situation seems to have been addressed by the Kansas City Chiefs following the first-round selection of Xavier Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft. General manager Brett Veach didn’t draft another receiver, but he was far from done at that position.

According to KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson, James Madison, standout wide receiver Reggie Brown will sign a rookie deal with the Chiefs after going undrafted. Brown was a First Team All-Sun Belt Conference wide receiver last season. He recorded 53 receptions for 1,054 receiving yards with a team-leading nine touchdowns.

Brown will have a chance to compete for a spot on the roster as the receiver room grows. The Chiefs still have young options at the position alongside recently signed Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has always found a way to get the most out of wideout options that can fit the scheme system.

Brown set a James Madison single-game record with 202 receiving yards versus UConn, accumulating four 100-yard games during the breakout season.

Bill Belichick was reminded of a harrowing injury from over 20 years ago while reflecting on Damar Hamlin’s health

Seeing Hamlin’s scary on-field collapse had Belichick relive some unfortunate trauma.

Damar Hamlin’s stunning on-field collapse due to cardiac arrest on Monday night sent a shockwave throughout the NFL world. As the Bills’ safety starts to show remarkable progress and receive powerful messages from his team of doctors in recovery, prominent figures around the football world have shared some powerful thoughts about the ongoing situation while reflecting on how football is so ancillary here.

On Thursday, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick began his media availability by discussing Hamlin and the ensuing fallout for NFL players and coaches. One of the more notable tidbits was Belichick seeing what happened with Hamlin on Monday and recounting another scary injury situation from his coaching past.

In 1997, former Detroit Lions linebacker Reggie Brown was left temporarily paralyzed after helping make a tackle against the New York Jets. At the time, Belichick was a Jets defensive assistant, and he said Hamlin made him think immediately of what happened to Brown:

Here’s more from WEEI’s Khari Thompson on a very personal memory for Belichick as he thought about Damar Hamlin:

“It was kind of a normal play,” Belichick recalled of Brown’s injury, which happened while Belichick was an assistant of Bill Parcells’ with the New York Jets. “… Everyone got up and walked back to the huddle, and Reggie [Brown] laid on the field and didn’t move. He was conscious for a little while. I forget exactly how long — 10 minutes, something like that.

“By the time he was given CPR, revived, put on the board, put on the ambulance and driven off the field at the Silverdome, it was quite a lengthy process. Both the teams looked very much like the game Monday night. Concern, thought, prayer, kneeling. It was a very chilling game that I’ll obviously never forget.”

It doesn’t sound like Belichick ever quite got over what happened to Brown. For a man who has been around the game for decades, to compare Hamlin’s situation as a result of a routine tackle to another traumatic situation from the past speaks volumes. Belichick’s heartfelt reflection about what can happen in this sport likely won’t be the last from a significant NFL figure as Hamlin continues to recover.
