Chiefs land ultra-athletic UDFA Jeff Caldwell, a high-upside project NFL teams may regret passing on
The Kansas City Chiefs signed Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell as an undrafted free agent, highlighting his rare athletic upside after a standout 2026 NFL Scouting Combine that placed him among elite percentile marks in the 40-yard dash, vertical, and broad jump, plus a 1.48s 10-yard split. At 6-5 and 216 pounds, Caldwell posted 32 receptions for 478 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 after transferring from Lindenwood, though he still has polishing to do—drops, release work, and play strength. If WR coach Chad O’Shea can develop him, KC could reap significant value and the rest of the NFL might regret passing on him.
