Demarcus Robinson

Demarcus Robinson may not be a household name around the league, but his presence in Chiefs Kingdom is a good one. The third-year receiver has flashed moments of big-play ability, even if he tends to play off-script at times.

There’s the potential that he could have been even more of a factor last year, had he not been playing somewhat in the shadows of Chris Conley. If Robinson can show discipline and continued growth, he should be able to build on the four touchdowns that he had in 2018.

Mecole Hardman

It’s safe to say that most of Chiefs Kingdom was a bit surprised when the Chiefs selected the University of Georgia receiver in the second round of the 2019 draft. Nonetheless, bringing Mecole Hardman into the mix was a welcomed decision.

The speedy receiver has shown some big flashes through training camp, which has translated into both preseason games so far. While Hardman can’t be expected to do too much in just his rookie year, it’s not crazy to think he could end up ahead of Demarcus Robinson on the depth chart in 2019.
