Jeff Caldwell: Undrafted Chiefs WR with Star Potential

0:00On April 26, the NFL draft might wrap up with Mr. Irrelevant, but the real action kicks off when teams scoop up undrafted gems like Jeff Caldwell. This six-foot-five-wire receiver from Cincinnati just signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. CBS ranked him 167th overall, and NFL.com saw him as a fourth-rounder, yet he slipped through undrafted. What makes Caldwell pop is his insane athleticism. At the combine, he blazed a 4.3 140-yard dash, hit a 1.48 10-yard split, best of everyone there, a 42-inch. Vertical and an 11-foot-2 broad jump. Top four among receivers in those drills, and his relative athletic score? A perfect 10 out of 10, second only to Calvin Johnson historically. Fans and scouts are buzzing about his potential. He started at FCS Lindenwood, racking of 93 catches, 1722 yards, and 23 touchdowns over 28.

1:00Games. Transferred to Cincinnati last year for 32 grabs, 478 yards, and six scores, not the focal point, but his size and speed. Scream upside. Analysts like Louis Riddick are praying he lands in the right spot to explode. Now with the Chiefs, Caldwell joins a receiver room headlined by Rache Rice and Xavier Worthy. Kansas City skipped big free agents flashes at the position, let Hollywood Brown and Juju Smith choose to walk and use their first four draft picks. On defense, before grabbing another Cincinnati guy, Cyrus Allen, in round five. This could be the steal of the offseason if Caldwell polishes his routes and catches fire in camp. Keep an eye on him. I has got that rare combo of genes and opportunity that turns undrafted guys into stars. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
