The Kansas City Chiefs are set to sign one of the top undrafted free agent receivers in the 2022 NFL draft class.
The Chiefs added former Clemson WR Justyn Ross to the roster shortly after the conclusion of the draft. Ross was a standout as a true freshman at Clemson in 2018, posting 46 receptions for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, in addition to six receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown in their national championship win over Alabama. He was a rising star in college football and a surefire future first-round draft pick, but a serious neck injury derailed his college career shortly after his sophomore season.
The work to bring Ross to Kansas City was very diligent according to Chiefs GM Brett Veach, who evoked last year’s selection of Trey Smith as an example. He also explained that Ross has been cleared to play by team doctors.
