Kansas City Chiefs: 2017 Undrafted free agents breakdown
By Andrew Jones
Tony Stevens, WR – Auburn
Stevens has better college numbers compared to Moore, but with no return or rushing stats to go with them. His senior year was his best with 31 catches for 487 yards and three touchdowns. He has the strength, speed, and overall ability but struggles in his route running. That kind of lack of focus gets receivers in trouble in the West Coast offense. Andy Reid has a massive amount of routes and plays in his book, so Stevens will have to really download the information to compete. Without the return or rush experience, he doesn’t seem to fit in Kansas City.

Anas Hasic, WR – West Florida
This kid has an amazing story as a refugee from Yugoslavia who moved to Arizona when he was very young. At 6-0, 210 pounds, Hasic has the strength to bully smaller corners on his routes. His speed and athleticism help him to move past defenders and find holes in zones. Hasic would fit well with the Chiefs given his ability to make plays after the catch. That is something that is paramount in the screen game.
Gehrig Dieter, WR – Alabama
Dieter is a big receiver that lit up the MAC while with Bowling Green in 2014, but could not find that same success as a senior in 2015 nor as a graduate transfer in Alabama the following year. Dieter has terrific hands and really shows his abilities near the goalline. He doesn’t have the speed to be a truly successful NFL wide receiver. His frame can handle more weight and, if he can bulk up a bit, he could be converted to tight end. I can see Dieter and Travis Kelce on opposite sides running corner fades in the red zone causing matchup nightmares.
Marcus Kemp, WR – Hawaii
Kemp is taller but lighter than other receivers the Chiefs have signed. What he really has going for him is his true No. 1 status while at Hawaii. Last season, Kemp hauled in 73 catches for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns. What impresses me most about his game is his ability to shed tackles despite his lean frame. He is also very good at making contested catches by getting himself in between the defender and the ball.
