Brineinmystool is among the UDFA least likely to make the team, in my opinion.

There are THREE guys in front of him. He's mediocre athletically, and a TE who can't block. Like that's his BIGGEST knock, that he's a shit blocker. Tre Watson is just as likely if not more so to make it.

I doubt any of these UDFA guys make the 53.

Chiefs TE Jake Briningstool says that four teams besides K.C. had interest in him and mentioned that it was very appealing to learn from Travis Kelce and others in the TE room: "Being around championship culture, that's really what attracted me the most."

He'll be "around" championship culture, alright. He'll be on the practice squad.

We had 4 TE’s on the opening roster last year, so I’d say there’s a decent chance here. His competion is the 4th TE last year, Hendershot, who seems like one of the most vulnerable players on the roster to be beat by someone like this kid.

Andy calling a UDRFA seems like he’s a player they favor being on the team.

I don't know man. I think he has a really good shot to make the roster.

[RealSNR]

You can favorably view Bloodinmystool's chances of making the roster and also not call Jared Wylie a bum just because he had a slow start and a season ending injury in year one. It's possible to do both.

Why are you so against the guy? Smh .. just let camp and preseason games play out and we'll see how it goes. If the likes of CARSON STEELE can make the roster than this kid has a damn good shot imo because Wiley has proved nothing thus far and is coming off an injury.

I'm really not.

I just don't see anything there.

Steele had a much more open path.

This kid has two veterans and a mid round pick last year in front of him. AND Hendershot, who's a better blocking TE.

I don't see it.

He’s looks like Travis Kelce

Kelce was a third round pick that would have gone higher but had character concerns.

You guys are nuts.

He's going home soon... too big and slow for a WR, and too small and slow for TE

His audition here was a convenient formality, a kind gesture

Wylie may start the season on IR

Badger looks like an outstanding red zone threat.
