After spending second-round draft picks on receivers in consecutive years the Kansas City Chiefs are hoping to get serious production from their young pass catchers in 2023.
Second-year wideout Skyy Moore, the first of the team’s two second-round selections, told reporters after practice on Monday that he is embracing a mentorship role with receiver Rashee Rice, who was drafted by Kansas City with the 55th pick of April’s NFL draft.
“Yeah for sure Rashee (Rice), it got to the point where he was asking me all the questions,” Moore explained of the relationship. “One of the times I said, ‘I don’t know bro you got to ask one of the older guys.’ And he was like ‘you’re one of the older guys.’ [laughter] So it just put things into perspective for me, I’ve got to jump into a different kind of role, I’m not one of the rookies anymore.”
Expectations are at an all-time high for the Chiefs as they look to defend their Super Bowl title in their 2023 campaign, and both Moore and Rice will look to play key roles in Kansas City’s legendary offense when the regular season kicks off in September.
