#2015 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ROSTER FREE#
WIDE RECEIVERS (13)Īnalysis: Maclin was the prize of free agency for the Chiefs, who somehow went all of 2014 without recording a wide receiver touchdown. His decisiveness, power and quickness (for his size) was apparent, but with Sherman entrenched at the position, Ware will need to prove his worth as a swing guy and special-teams contributor to stick. Ware, a former running back at LSU, was a pleasant surprise as a runner in OTAs. He was an excellent find by general manager John Dorsey, who acquired him two years ago for cornerback Javier Arenas. FULLBACKS (2)Īnalysis: Sherman is a hard-nosed, lunch-pail type who does a lot of the offense’s dirty work as a blocker and has even chipped in as a receiver, catching a total of 28 passes the last two seasons. He could potentially push for a roster spot with a strong camp.
Keep an eye on West, an intriguing youngster with some quickness and receiving ability. Gray, meanwhile, is a valuable, reliable special teams player who is coming off a torn ACL. He also has room to grow as a receiver and blocker, as well, before he can assume the top role in Reid’s offense. Davis is a physical specimen - a big, strong, fast guy who was productive as a runner when he carried the ball last year but must continue to develop his vision. The truth is, as long as he’s on the field, he’s still probably going to get his. He is almost certainly in for another big season if - and it’s a big if - he can find a way to avoid the nagging injuries that plagued him all of last year. He is a multipurpose weapon that defenses have to account for on every play. The Chiefs have been working with him on the mental part of the position and he could have used the reps he missed out on in the spring.Īnalysis: At 28, Charles remains an outstanding back who is smack dab in the middle of his prime. Bray has a big arm and a gunslinger’s mentality that separates him the other quarterbacks on the roster but the torn ACL he suffered in January certainly did not help his development. It will be interesting to see how his development continues when the pads come on. Murray made some noticeable strides toward the end of organized team activities this spring, when he made a few really nice throws. Daniel has fared well in his limited playing time the last two years and is a solid insurance plan if Smith goes down with an injury. Smith did a fine job protecting the football last year (amid regular pressure, no less), but the Chiefs’ offense could potentially jump a level if he learns to take a few more chances. *denotes projected starter QUARTERBACKS (4)Īnalysis: Smith is the unquestioned starter, and it will be interesting to see how he fares with upgraded weapons at receiver (Jeremy Maclin and Chris Conley) and another year of experience in the offense.
