While most eyes have been on stars like Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy, undrafted WR Jalen Royals is quietly making his case as one of the breakout performers at Chiefs training camp.

The former Utah State standout impressed again on Friday with steady, consistent team drills. Royals showed sharp route-running, reliable hands, and the quickness to separate — earning key reps with the second-team offense.

🗣️ “Royals has looked sharp all week,” one reporter said. “He’s not just another camp body — he’s competing to stay.”

With Rashee Rice’s status still uncertain and Richie James no longer on the roster, Royals is climbing the depth chart and flashing as a dependable option both in the slot and outside.

In Friday’s 11-on-11, Royals made several clean catches — including a standout grab over the middle in tight coverage. His timing, footwork, and confidence earned praise from coaches and sideline observers.

As camp rolls on, Royals is shaping up as one of the most intriguing undrafted players in St. Joseph. If he keeps it up, he could force his way onto the 53-man roster.

🔥 Every training camp has a surprise — and in 2025, that surprise might just be Jalen Royals.
