Kansas City Chiefs: A look at the lesser known wide receivers

The Kansas City Chiefs have an impressive group of wide receivers this year. What about the ones who aren’t shoe-ins to make the roster though?

When it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver depth chart, fans certainly know who Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are. They’re probably aware of Chris Conley, Demarcus Robinson, and De’Anthony Thomas as well. What about the other wideouts trying to make the team?

Aside from those five, the Chiefs have plenty of options to look at this preseason to see who makes the team and potentially a practice squad spot or two. While I mentioned Thomas above, it’s not because he’s a guarantee to make the roster, but rather because he was a fourth round draft pick several years ago and most fans probably know who he is.

Anyway, let’s take a look at the players who aren’t as well-known amongst Chiefs Kingdom.

DANIEL BRAVERMAN

Daniel Braverman has only appeared in three NFL games in his career, all of them coming back in 2016 with the Chicago Bears. The Bears drafted Braverman out of Western Michigan in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft and he didn’t make much of an impact in the Windy City at all.

Braverman is vying for a spot on the Chiefs final roster or on the practice squad and if I’m being brutally honest, his chances aren’t likely. Unless he tears it up in these final three games, he could be one of the first cuts made.

Braverman, who is listed as a wide receiver on the Chiefs website, didn’t have a single target on Thursday night against the Texans. Instead, he had one carry for five yards. Everyone likes an underdog, but it’s not a good sign when a guy is trying to make the roster and doesn’t get a single target.
