The Kansas City Chiefs have a trio of hard-working receivers.
No matter what happens in 2016 with Chris Conley, Albert Wilson and Jeremy Maclin, nobody can question their work ethic.
Throughout the spring and early summer, the trio have taken turns posting pictures and videos on Instagram with each other, showcasing their willingness to work. On Tuesday, Wilson and Conley fired out the same picture of them at Arrowhead Stadium’s weight room, despite it being Wilson’s birthday and the middle of the offseason.
This is great. Maclin is largely responsible for this, having rounded up Conley earlier this offseason while providing room and board. Wilson also came up from his native Georgia to get work in, hoping to hold onto his starting role.
It’s something like this which shows Maclin as a leader. Frankly, I don’t remember pictures like this before he arrived. The Chiefs need receivers other than Maclin to step up and produce more, and working out around the clock seems like a very good start.
None of this guarantees results, but it certainly shows that Conley and Wilson are giving it a legitimate effort. What more can you ask?
