Jalen Royals WOOP
Daniel Harms
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again:
I’d draft Jalen Royals over any WR not named Hunter or McMillan.
Kent Lee Platte
Jalen Royals is a WR prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.23 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 266 out of 3445 WR from 1987 to 2025.
Pro day pending for remaining tests.

Jalen Royals is not Diontae Johnson...
@SteveSmithSr89 means that in a good way![]()

This is some legit short-area twitch and explosion from Jalen Royals in the RAC phase.
Combined with his play strength and contact balance through arm tackles, this is where he'll make a lot of his money.
Another example of Jalen Royals just making it look easy with the little details:
- Stems the nickel DB to threaten the fade
- Explodes off the jab-step into the post route
- Works back to the ball with a slight angle adjustment
- Diamond hands, catch secured through contact
Out of 12 different rankings I have seen, none have him listed as top 6. But all have him listed between 7 and 13, with an average of 9.4.Considering this guy is in just about everyone's top 6 for rookie WRs.... this is an awfully short player thread for these msg boards. I say this because he feels overlooked in a lot of podcasts/articles I've been consuming on the rookies as well. Feels like he might be a value if he continues flying under the radar. Of course a splashy landing spot in the draft could change all that.

Jalen Royals will be a PROBLEM with the Chiefs
No QB benefits more from yards after catch than Patrick Mahomes, and he just got arguably the best RAC receiver in the 2025 Draft![]()
@BnbFootball
Out of 432 draft-eligible D1 prospects, Jalen Royals was:
+ 2nd in receiving yards per game
+ 5th in yards after contact per catch (minimum 600 yards)
+ Top 10 in yards per route run
Shocked he made it out of Day 2. And to the CHIEFS.
That’s my concern, I drafted Rice in two startups. Do they know something we don’t?Effing steal by the Chiefs. This dude is another Rishi Rice.
I mean he tore his ACL and has already had 2 run ins with the law. Seems like KC would wise to have an alternative plan at this point.That’s my concern, I drafted Rice in two startups. Do they know something we don’t?Effing steal by the Chiefs. This dude is another Rishi Rice.
If true, keep the car keys away from him.Effing steal by the Chiefs. This dude is another Rishi Rice.

RD 4 | PK 133 - Chiefs: Jalen Royals WR, Utah State
Royals earned the 6th-highest NGS overall draft score among wide receivers in this year's class (82), and was one of five WRs to eclipse 75+ in both production and athleticism. When the Chiefs turned in their card, Royals was the last remaining player on the board with an overall score over 80.
Royals will join a Kansas City receiver room that lost both DeAndre Hopkins (BAL) and Mecole Hardman (GB) this offseason.

Plus I don’t think Hollywood Brown will be around much longer, or any other geezer they have or will have.Great late round value roll. No guarantee Rice is the same player coming off an injury (plus the off-field issues). Pat has said he wants this offense to be more of explosive, Royals is a nice addition to the mix.

Some quick notes from Day 2 of Chiefs rookie camp:
Jalen Royals had a busy day with 10 catches between 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills.
TE Jake Briningstool made two of the day’s top plays with a pair of leaping catches deep downfield despite good coverage. He’s impressive.
I feel like nobody is excited about players going to KC anymore22 replies into this thread and no one is talking about the fact he is now a member of the Kansas City Royals?
I think that will change this year actually. Rice, Worthy, Brown and now Royals. Plus maybe Kelce will actually get in shape this year and be able to run a route longer than 5 yards consistently.I feel like nobody is excited about players going to KC anymore22 replies into this thread and no one is talking about the fact he is now a member of the Kansas City Royals?
