Hollywood Brown: The Chiefs’ pass-catchers are the ‘best I’ve been a part of’

1 week ago | arrowheadpride.com | Jared Sapp

Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Images After joining the team as an unrestricted free agent a year ago, wide receiver Hollywood Brown was expected to be a major contributor to the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs. But unfortunately, Brown missed most of the campaign while recovering from a preseason shoulder injury. He returned in December, finishing with only nine catches for 91 scoreless yards — and adding five more grabs during the playoffs.

Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images A major offseason story surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs is whether they have (finally) found a solution to the all-important left tackle position in first round draft selection Josh Simmons. The player hyped as the answer last season, however, will also have a say in how far this year’s team can go. As a rookie in 2024, second-round selection Kingsley Suamataia started the first two games at left tackle before being pulled in Week 2.
Chiefs’ Dave Toub predicts ‘85 to 90%’ of kickoffs will be returned in 2025

Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images Last season, the NFL piloted a major change to kickoffs, hoping to re-establish one of the game’s most exciting plays. But the new “dynamic kickoff” didn’t reduce touchbacks enough. So for 2025, the rule has been tweaked. Starting this season, an unreturned ball will be placed at the 35-yard line — just like the original draft of the proposed rule change was written.
Chiefs News: Deep passing again a topic of conversation at OTAs

Photo by Bruce Yeung/Getty Images Heading into the 2025 season, the most pressing question facing the Kansas City Chiefs may be their deep passing attack (or lack thereof down the stretch last year). Although the team found on-field success until the unfortunate final contest, quarterback Patrick Mahomes had the worst statistical season of his career. The face of the league failed to reach 4,000 passing yards for the first time, while setting personal lows in most air yardage statistics.

Immediately after April’s NFL Draft, Browns running back Jerome Ford was essentially forced into a pay cut, reducing his 2025 salary from $3.4 million to $1.75 million. Cleveland did guarantee the smaller amount, all but assuring Ford would round out their running back room with rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. There is an element of unfairness in Cleveland’s business decision. Ford played 1155 offensive snaps from 2023-24, totaling 1922 scrimmage yards and 11 all-purpose touchdowns.

Fresh off becoming back-to-back champions with a win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs largely planned their offseason around keeping the band together for a bid at a three-peat. The team got a head start on free agency shortly before the league year began, re-signing star defensive tackle Chris Jones to a monster 5-year contract. Including $95 million in guaranteed money, it was — by far — the richest defensive contract of that offseason.

Denny Medley-Imagn Images When reporters were allowed to watch the first open practice of the Kansas City Chiefs’ organized team activities (OTAs) on Thursday, the presence of wide receiver Xavier Worthy loomed large. As a rookie during last year’s OTAs, Worthy was largely sidelined while recovering from a hamstring injury. But even though he wasn’t participating, he was learning. “Mentally,” the second-year pro explained after practice, “I feel like I’m the same as last year.
