KC Chiefs: What to know about 2020 undrafted free agents

Cody White, WR Michigan State

White has all of the fundamental skills to be a solid player in the NFL. This could be because his dad played in the NFL and then worked in the NFL personnel department. He is a polished route runner and has solid hands.

At 6’3″, 217 pounds, he has NFL size but doesn’t have great speed, which could limit his upside. However, if he can learn to use his size to his advantage he could develop into a solid possession receiver in the NFL.

Rodney Clemons, S Southern Methodist

Clemons is a versatile safety with good coverage skills. He has NFL size but is lacking in the speed category running a 4.71 40 at the combine. The most intriguing part about Clemons is that he didn’t start playing football until he was a senior in High School so he is still learning and developing his game and could still take his game to another level in KC.

Aleva Hifo, WR BYU

If it isn’t clear yet, the Chiefs prioritize speed. Hifo adds yet another speedy wideout to this year’s class of UDFAs. He wasn’t a high usage player at BYU and his stats reflect that, but he ran a 4.41 40 at his virtual pro day and was used in a bunch of was at BYU.

He can play in the slot, he was handed the ball a lot on jet sweeps, and he excelled as a punt returner. This type of speed and versatility could earn him a roster spot in Kansas City eventually if he continues to develop while spending a season or two on the practice squad.

Omari Cobb, LB Marshall

Cobb has impressive length at 6’4″, 223 pounds which could allow him to transition into an NFL WILL linebacker. He ran the 40 in 4.73 seconds, which isn’t as fast as fellow rookie Willie Gay Jr, but still serviceable especially considering his length.

Cobb was very productive at Marshall posting 114 tackles, 7.5 for a loss, two sacks, and two pass breakups last season. He could probably stand to add some weight to beef up his lanky frame, but if he is able to do that and continue to improve with the Chiefs he could find his way onto the Chiefs’ active roster eventually as depth behind Willie Gay.

Tershawn Wharton, DE Missouri S&T

Wharton is kind of an enigma. Not very often does a DII player make it to the NFL and turn it into a successful career, but after standing out at a local(ish) DII program at Missouri S&T Wharton will look to defy these odds.

According to Bill Pollock of Missourinet, Wharton holds the Missouri S&T career record for both sacks and tackles for a loss with 35.5 and 58 respectively. After an All-American season in 2018, he faced double and triple-teams most of the season, but still managed 59 tackles with 11.5 for a loss and 7.5 sacks.

Hakeem Bailey, CB West Virginia

Last season, Bailey had one interception, nine pass breakups, 58 tackles and added one sack and one forced fumble. Other than his stats there’s not a lot to tell about Bailey, but one more interesting tidbit is that his lone interception last season came as a game-clinching interception in a win over K State, so if our Wildcat fans recognize the name that is probably why.

Justice Shelton-Mosley, WR Vanderbilt

Shelton-Mosley was a two-time All-Ivy League player and was an FCS All-American at Harvard his Junior year before suffering an injury his senior year and eventually transferring to Vanderbilt.

He did not have near the success last year at Vanderbilt as he had previously at Havard, but a lot of that could have been injury-related. If he is able to make the practice squad this season and work on his health he may be able to fight for a roster spot next season if he can tap back into his Harvard days.
