Exciting rookie WR makes impressive leaping touchdown catch at Chiefs training camp

Uncertainty surrounding the disposition of veteran wide receiver Rashee Rice's impending suspension (of indeterminate length) will force the Kansas City Chiefs to pay special attention to their up-and-coming pass-catchers during training camp and the preseason.

One Chiefs player who stands to benefit from Rice's eventual absence is rookie wideout Jalen Royals, who was seen catching a touchdown pass at Kansas City's latest training camp practice session on Sunday, August 3.

Take a look at Royals' outstanding effort to come down with the ball in the back of the endzone in this video, which was posted to Twitter by veteran journalist Farzin Vousoughian:

Royals was selected by the Chiefs with the No. 133 pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft after a productive tenure with the Utah State Aggies.

If Royals continues to make eye-popping plays that impress Kansas City's coaching staff during the Chiefs' three-game preseason exhibition schedule, he may find himself playing an important role in Andy Reid's offense as a rookie.
