Conley runs with 1st with Wilson hurt
Chris Conley - WR - Chiefs
Chiefs third-round WR Chris Conley ran with the starting offense at Monday's practice. With Albert Wilson (shoulder) hurt, Conley is getting his chance to run opposite Jeremy Maclin. Before Wilson even got hurt last week, he was having a really quiet camp and preseason while Conley caught 3-of-5 targets for 30 yards in his first action of the preseason over the weekend. Wilson has speed, but isn't very big. Conley (6'3/205) was a draftnik favorite as a metrics freak with 4.35 wheels, 45-inch vertical, and 11-foot-7 broad jump. He's in the mix for No. 2 duties. |

The sooner Conley plays the better. He has more potential than Wilson.

Shrimpy he ain't. He's a fairly squat, powerfully built guy. He's not a linebacker out there but as far as WRs go, he's built well. I like Conley, but Wilson brings a lot to this offense. He can/will run more precise routes than Wilson due having the shorter stride length and thus being harder to knock off route. He also showed himself to be a damn tough WR; really willing to take hits to get into zones and get the ball last year. Perhaps he's better suited to the slot long-term, but if he's our X this year, we'll be just fine.

Conley plays slower than i thought he would. My expectations have been tempered a bit.

Meh, not really he just has a lot on his plate especially missing quite a few practices.

Well yes. You do play a lot slower when you are thinking as opposed to just flowing. Huge adjustment to the NFL and even bigger to an Andy Reid offense.

Last Friday night, all us dads were watching the game and this running back on the other team was killing us with his speed. He breaks one on the outside and is jamming down the sideline for like 60 yards when my son (corner back)closes on him from right behind him (not a good angle or something - just a straight up sprint, one behind the other) and trips him at the 4 yardline. Kid had about a 7 yard head start and we had all just been sitting around talking about how crazy fast this kid was. No one really talks about my kid like that. He's a corner back so he's fast, but people don't really consider him "wow" fast. He has deceptive speed. Looks like he's just not putting a lot of effort into it, but he can move. Maybe Conley is like that?

Well he is 6'3 and not a smaller WR like DAT. He's going to appear that way
