Kansas City Chiefs: What Justice Shelton-Mosley can provide in 2020

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Justice Shelton-Mosley as an undrafted free agent. What should fans expect from him as a rookie?

It’s no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs have one of the most explosive offenses in the entire league. They were lucky in that none of their offensive weapons departed this offseason, so the whole squad will be back together in 2020.

That will make it hard for the UDFA wide receivers signed after the draft to find their way onto the roster, but it’s certainly not impossible. The Chiefs tend to have five or six receivers on their roster and with it expanding to 55 players this year, perhaps they can have seven wide receivers on the roster.

Even still, it’ll be difficult for Justice Shelton-Mosley to make his presence known in 2020.

What should the Kansas City Chiefs expect from Shelton-Mosley?

The Chiefs have a steady group returning at the wide receiver position including Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, and Mecole Hardman. Throw in that Byron Pringle has a good chance of making the team and that leaves one or two spots available.

I covered UDFA wide receiver Kalija Lipscomb – who was a teammate of Shelton-Mosley’s at Vanderbilt – and wrote that he was the UDFA I felt the most confident in making some sort of impact as a rookie. In that article, I mentioned that Lipscomb was making a decent chunk of change from the Chiefs and that’s going to help him out when it comes to making the team.

When it comes to Shelton-Mosley’s chances at seeing the field in 2020, he probably would be vying for more of a role on special teams rather than as a receiver. We all saw what Hardman was able to do as a rookie return man and that’d be the goal for Shelton-Mosley as well.
