With the benefit of catching balls from the best quarterback in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie Skyy Moore could be one of the biggest sleepers of the 2022 NFL draft. Brought in after the team traded star receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, Moore has an opportunity to compete for a meaningful volume of targets in the most exciting offense in football, all in his first season as a professional athlete.
This level of competition is a far cry from his days playing in the MAC at Western Michigan, and adjustments will need to be made before he can thrive against the best of the best. Perhaps the most important aspect of his development will come from his ability to create a rapport with MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes and become part of a cohesive unit with all the other receivers on the roster.
He spoke to reporters last weekend about the time he spent with Mahomes in Texas during the offseason, saying that he felt the connection was already being made between himself and the generational talent that will be slinging him the ball this year.
