Now, it appears the Chiefs are taking a special interest in Brown too, meeting with him \u201cprivately\u201d according to Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>The Draft Network\u2019s Ryan Fowler scouted the 6-foot-2 Brown as a \u201csmooth-moving pass-catcher with excellent route-running, hands, and a high-level athletic profile.\u201d He also praised Brown for his \u201cextremely fluid\u201d transitions and movements as a wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Per NFL.com, Brown ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash with a 41.5-inch vertical and a 1.52-second 10-yard split.<\/p>\n<p>Fowler concluded that \u201coverall, Brown is a highly intriguing prospect whose fluidity as an athlete pops off the screen. His potential remains as lofty as any pass-catcher in the ACC and is an offensive weapon whose size, fluidity, and athleticism paint the picture of a potential top 100 player in the draft.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Potential Chiefs WR Target Sam Brown Jr. Gets Mixed Reviews After Transferring Around Frequently in College<\/h2>\n<p>Although Fowler appears to be high on Brown, NFL Network scouting expert Lance Zierlein was less confident in his abilities while breaking down his outlook ahead of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrown played at three schools over five seasons but failed to produce at a standout level,\u201d Zierlein noted. Adding: \u201cFrankly, there are more flashes on Brown\u2019s 2023 tape at Houston than there were on his Miami tape from 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lacked creativity to beat press [coverage] and struggled to finish plays as a deep option in both seasons,\u201d the draft expert continued. \u201c[Brown] has some instincts in space and flashes route-running potential, but it\u2019s hard to find enough consistent tape to make a clear projection of what he could provide as a pro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zierlein eventually graded Brown as a \u201ccandidate for [the] bottom of [the] roster or practice squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Could Be Eyeing Sam Brown Jr. as Potential Late-Round Pick or Undrafted Prospect<\/h2>\n<p>Fowler called Brown a potential top 100 player in the draft, but with this being a weaker wide receiver class than previous years, it\u2019s possible he slips further than that.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs aren\u2019t really pressed for WR help at the moment, with star playmaker Rashee Rice set to return from injury alongside Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Skyy Moore, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, head coach Andy Reid always loves bringing in new toys for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, so it\u2019s possible KC could select a prospect like Brown if he falls to the later rounds of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>General manager Brett Veach likes to stress that from rounds four through seven, teams\u2019 rankings and grades are all over the map. Picks become much more subjective in those later rounds, and sometimes prospects sink lower than GMs expect.<\/p>\n<p>Brown feels like that type of wideout that could go anywhere from the fourth round to becoming a priority UDFA who is undrafted. Either way, the Chiefs appear ready to do their due diligence and keep tabs on the Miami pass-catcher just in case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An NFL insider reported that the Kansas City Chiefs met with a wide receiver prospect &#8220;privately&#8221; ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 Chiefs Eye Star WR with &#039;Elite&#039; Route-Running Skills \u2013 What\u2019s the Buzz?
