The Chiefs had 8 players attend last weeks Rookie Mini Camp on a tryout basis. When asked about those players later, Todd Haley said he thought 2 or 3 of them had a shot to get a contact and be present at OTA’s.
Well, today the team announced the signing of former Notre Dame receiver, David Grimes.
From KCChiefs.com:
"David Grimes, a former Notre Dame wide receiver under Chiefs offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, has been added to Kansas City’s roster. Though he was a weekend tryout invite, Grimes does not qualify as a rookie. He actually entered the league in 2009 as an undrafted free agent with Denver, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. Since Grimes does not have an accrued season of NFL experience, he was eligible to participate in the Chiefs rookie camp.At 5-9, 183, Grimes has both receiving and return experience. He caught 90 passes for 900 yards with seven TDs during his career at Notre Dame and also returned 36 kickoffs for 852 yards."
It will be interesting to see if this former Weis player can make the team. Welcome to the Chiefs, David and good luck!
