During his press conference on Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gave his assessment of rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals.

“Yeah, he (Jalen Royals) looks like he’s a sharp kid. He works hard, he’s strong – a little bit like Rashee (Rice) in that way. Probably like Rashee (in more) than one (way),” said Reid, “He’s got a little bit more beef to him, (a) thick lower body, but again, (he’s) strong, and he picks stuff up – he doesn’t say a whole lot. (He’s) very, very quiet, but he picks things up and does a nice job with it.”

Since being drafted by the Chiefs, Royals has consistently heard the Rashee Rice comparisons. He was recently featured in the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event as one of the players to watch heading into the 2025 season.

During his final college season, Royals was named second-team All-Mountain West. He led Utah State with 55 receptions, 834 receiving yards, and tallied six touchdowns while starting seven games.
