they just had to get usually you look at it and it's you know look at what chris conley did i mean he did i'm trying to remember did he even get the 400 yards his his rookie year um i mean tyreek was only in the 500 range and again that was a little bit of that was just that he wasn't a full-time receiver yet and wasn't fully matured i think some of these guys i mean they're
They're more mature as receivers than Tyreek was.
Tyreek was just pure athleticism and play, just doing what he was doing to put up the numbers that he did.
And they had other guys around, so they didn't have to give him the opportunities.
So some of these guys are going to be limited by just what their chances are.
And I don't think that Cyrus Allen is going to get a huge number of opportunities.
I mean, at his best, maybe he climbs up to being the number three receiver.
I think he'll probably be the number four guy if everybody's healthy.
And Jalen Royals, if he plays this year and makes the roster, number five is probably his high-water mark.
And, again, that deep down the totem pole, you usually don't get a bunch of numbers.
So, hey, if Cyrus Allen puts up 400 yards, I think that's a really good year for him.
Honestly, if Jalen Royals puts up 200 to 300 yards, I think that would be a really good year for him.
I mean, I don't think it is because, I mean, that was still the era which the Chiefs had never had a 30-touchdown passer in a season.
It was a different world, different quarterback.
I mean, those 18 touchdowns, looking back at it, at that point, it was tied for the second most touchdown passes that Alex Smith ever had in a year.
I mean, 23 was his high going into that season.
I mean, that was a really good year for Alex Smith.
