#3: Skyy Moore

A lot of hype surrounds rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore entering the 2022 season. But, it is not for his kick return prospects.

A former Western Michigan Broncos, Moore was never extensively involved in the Broncos kick or punt return game. In his three-year collegiate career, Moore only had three returns for a low 21 yards. Moore had better things to do, being the top receiving option for the Broncos. His historic 2021 season saw him shoot up NFL draft boards, and the Chiefs chose him in the second round.

Moore has a great chance at contributing in the passing game from Week 1 but could be an option at kick returner. He had one such return for 27 yards against the Bears, a good start for the rookie. Moore was also seen pre-game, practicing fielding punts.

Moore has solid hands, bot. in the passing game and return game. However, if the Chiefs want him to be an impactful offensive player in 2022, Toub may not rely on Moore. Just like he did at Western Michigan, Moore will be having better things to do.
