Kansas City Chiefs WR, Byron Pringle
Another undrafted find for the Chiefs in 2018 was wide receiver Byron Pringle from Kansas State. Pringle showed off sub 4.5 speed during the draft process, which surely interested the Chiefs who love to be able to stretch the field with their wideouts.
As a rookie, however, Pringle never saw the field. He did end up playing in all 16 games the following season as he had 12 receptions for 170 yards and a touchdown. He added another 160 yards and a score the following season on 13 receptions.
Then in 2021, he really started to break out. With more time on the field, Pringle responded by catching 37 passes for 512 yards and five touchdowns in the team’s first 16 games. He’s proven to be a reliable target who can not only create some separation but also has caught 72.9 percent of the passes thrown his way during his time with Kansas City.
Surely they would love for him to come back in 2022 but he could also be tempted to join Eric Bieniemy should the coach move onto a new job. And Bieniemy would also appreciate having a sure-handed wideout who knows his system as well as anyone.

Pringle might not be a No. 1 wideout but he’s more than capable of hurting defenses as the second option. And sometimes, having such a player can be vital to the success of the offense.
