Wide receiver Justin Watson was one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ unsung heroes in 2022 and quietly became one of Patrick Mahomes’ most reliable targets.
A veteran presence in the Chiefs’ exceptionally young receiving corps, Watson has been hard at work at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, hauling in a highlight reel catch at Wednesday’s workouts.

It seems that Watson and Mahomes are picking up where they left off last season after this jaw-dropping effort. Plays like this will help the pair develop chemistry together that is sure to pay dividends when the 2023 regular season kicks off in September.
Watson managed an impressive 21 yards per reception last year, bringing in 15 passes for a total of 315 yards and two touchdowns en route to the second Super Bowl championship of his career. If he can continue making strides at Kansas City’s workouts, he should be considered a lock to make the Chiefs’ 53-man roster.
