Overview
- The Chiefs agreed to terms with undrafted Cincinnati wideout Jeff Caldwell after the 2026 NFL Draft, despite some projections placing him in the middle rounds.
- He ran a 4.31-second 40-yard dash at about 6-foot-5 and showed a wide catch radius on jump balls.
- Analysts say a thin depth chart behind Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton gives him a real chance to compete for a roster spot.
- NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein calls him a developmental player who needs better route detail and more consistent results on contested catches.
- Media have compared his athletic testing to Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, underscoring the hype around his traits.
