Tyler Bray Opens Chiefs Camp As Third Quarterback
Opening training camp as the number three quarterback isn’t exactly the most glamorous thing in the world, but that’s where Tyler Bray finds himself as the Kansas City Chiefs open camp this week.
Bray’s status as the third quarterback is actually an upgrade for the undrafted rookie, he worked as the fourth quarterback in mini-camps during the spring.
It’s unlikely that Bray will move further up the depth chart.
Chase Daniel, the Chief’s number two quarterback, has experience backing up a pretty good quarterback that you may have heard of — Drew Brees.
Bray should be able to hold off Ricky Stanzi for the number three spot during training camp. The Chiefs are enamored enough with Bray’s arm talent to keep him on the roster as a developmental guy. The former Vol has an upside that separates him from Stanzi.
The Chiefs picked up Alex Smith in the off-season to be their starting quarterback, but Smith definitely isn’t a long-term solution. If Bray keeps his head on straight and progresses, there could be a tremendous opportunity for him in Kansas City.
