The Kansas City Chiefs added another promising piece to their offense during the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals in the fourth round.
While some projected him to go earlier, Royals landed in a position where expectations could quickly rise, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Rashee Rice’s availability for the upcoming season.

Royals could be the next breakout WR
Rice is recovering from a season-ending knee injury and may face league discipline following an off-field incident, creating a potential opening in Kansas City’s receiving corps.

Royals’ skillset could allow him to step into a significant role, one that resembles what Rice brought to the table before his setback.
Chiefs director of player personnel Ryne Nutt sees notable similarities between the two receivers.
“His game is very similar to Rashee’s,”Nutt said.
“He’s got big hands, strong hands, and he’s very good after the catch. [Run after the catch] is a big part of our offense. We look for speed. The kid had that 4.40 [40-yard dash]… route running is probably an area where Rashee had to kind of develop, so we kind of thought they were similar in that respect.”
Even with a healthy Rice expected back at some point in the 2025 campaign, the Chiefs believe Royals has the tools to make an early impact.
“With Rashee coming back from injury and trying to get right, the hopes are this kid can step in and try to get some playing time and help us out,”Nutt added.
Greg Castillo, the team’s western regional scout, echoed that sentiment, calling Royals a versatile threat.
“He can make an impact immediately. The [run-after-catch] ability stands out… He can beat a guy off press coverage or run right by you. When the ball is in his hands, he can run right through you.”
Royals, who tallied over 834 receiving yards at Utah State last season, made a name for himself by generating significant yardage after the catch.
“I played running back growing up,” Royals said.
“I’m used to getting yards after contact. Maybe 3 yards each catch could be helpful.”
With veteran additions like Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, plus 2024 first-rounder Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs’ wide receiver room is deep.
But if Royals lives up to his potential, Patrick Mahomes could have another reliable weapon to keep the chains moving.

When should the Giants start Jaxson Dart? ‘This is going to be a pretty good QB’
<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brian Daboll had a plan and was going to stick with it. His young, talented quarterback wasn’t going to play early in the regular season. He wanted him to sit and watch and learn as much as he could.And then, in the third quarter of the 2018 opener, Josh Allen took over as the Buffalo Bills quarterback. A few days later, the rookie was named the starter for Week 2.Daboll was just the Bills offensive coordinator then, and Allen was sitting behind Nathan Peterman, not a 10-time Pro Bowler like Russell Wilson, but the lesson is a valuable one nonetheless. Right now, Daboll has no intention of playing Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart early in the season, so he can sit and watch and learn as much as […]

Ohavnost v soutěži dorostenců. Divák dal rozhodčímu hlavičku, sudí skončil v nemocnici
Samotný duel dorostenecké ligy rozhodla jediná branka, kterou už ve 3.minutě vstřelil domácí Jan Neumann. To, proč se o zápase hraném v Berouně mluví, se stalo až po jeho skončení.Při odchodu z hrací plochy totiž došlo k napadení hlavního rozhodčího Daniela Budila. „Nejprve divák (zjevně hostujícího družstva) konfrontačním způsobem vstoupil do prostoru hřiště směrem ke druhému asistentovi, který před ním začal couvat, aby nedošlo k fyzickému napadení. Na to zareagoval člen pořadatelské služby a následně došlo k fyzické rozmíšce. Po tomto incidentu, který trval cca 20 vteřin, jsem zaregistroval, že divák odešel do ústraní (již jsem ho neviděl), tudíž jsem vyhodnotil potenciální riziko odchodu do kabin jako zmenšené,“ popisuje v zápise Budil.Jenže po chvíli se prý znovu objevil zmíněný divák. „A prudce (vysokou intenzitou) mě udeřil čelem tzv. hlavičkou do oblasti čelní kosti, což zapříčinilo můj pád na zem. Poznamenávám, že útoku se nešlo nijak bránit a absolutně jsem ho […]
Nosková se Siniakovou zabojují na US Open o postup
Dvacetiletá Nosková se zatím v sezoně nemůže opřít o stabilní výsledky. Střídá úspěchy s propady. Na trávě si v létě zahrála čtvrtfinále v Nottinghamu a semifinále v Bad Homburgu, ve Wimbledonu pak vypadla v osmifinále a následně se dostala na tvrdém povrchu v Praze do finále. V Montrealu i Cincinnati nicméně přišlo vyřazení hned v první rundě. V Monterrey před startem US Open se ale probojovala do čtvrtfinále.Její forma na posledním grandslamu sezony je tak trochu neznámou, každopádně Gálfiové, až 99. hráčce světa, bude chtít oplatit loňskou porážku z Wimbledonu.Kateřina Siniaková zažila na US Open nepříjemný šok už minulý týden. Měla startovat v mixu po boku světové singlové jedničky Jannika Sinnera. Jenže italská hvězda kvůli zdravotním problémům účast na poslední chvíli vzdala. A pořadatelé spolu s ním odstranili z pavouku soutěže i českou tenistku.Do turnaje tak vstoupí až v noci z úterý na středu ve dvouhře proti Baptisteové.
