WR Jalen Royals, KC (1 Viewer)

Ian Cummings
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
 
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.

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.

Jalen Royals to the Chiefs 🔥🔥

#1 fastest 10-yard split in this WR class & dominated man coverage

Andy Reid & Patrick Mahomes will love him

NFL Draft Files
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.
 
I thought he would have gone earlier, but you have to like the landing spot. With the uncertainty of Rice and I don't think Brown is for long in KC, this guy can be a factor in dynasty if you're patient.

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.
