The three-day event has Chiefs fans amped up about the incoming first-year group&#8217;s potential, especially when it comes to\u00a02025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he wasn&#8217;t one of the first wideouts drafted last month, Royals has the potential to be something special in Kansas City \u2014 especially with quarterback Patrick Mahomes throwing him the ball. The former Utah State WR&#8217;s outlook is so promising that it&#8217;s at the point where even the NFL has taken notice.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Chiefs WR Jalen Royals Selected for NFLPA Rookie Premiere Program<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0NFLPA Rookie Premiere program has existed for 30 years\u00a0and is a tool that helps first-year players get acclimated to the professional level.

The program is designed for \u201crising stars\u201d to introduce them to business side of football and help them connect with endorsements and other financial opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Royals is one of 16 wideouts who are taking part in the 2025 program. The Chiefs&#8217; promising playmaker will be joined by fellow WRs like the Carolina Panthers&#8217; Tetairoa McMillan and Green Bay Packers&#8217; Matthew Golden, highlighting the type of talent that Royals will be surrounded by during the Los Angeles-based event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Hopefully, Royals successfully proves that he deserves to be included with the other top rookie WRs. The 22-year-old playmaker dazzled in his last two seasons with the Aggies, converting 126 catches into 1,914 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns in only 20 games, which includes All-MWC honors in each campaign.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">With the talents he boasts, the sky will be the limit for Royals as early as next season. Wideouts Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown both dealt with injury-plagued 2024 campaigns, whereas the\u00a0likes of Skyy Moore\u00a0and Nikko Remigio are on thin ice. As long as he can also outperform JuJu Smith-Schuster, Justyn Ross, and Tyquan Thornton, too, Royals is on track to have a big role in Year 1.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Fortunately, Chiefs fans won&#8217;t have to wait too long to hear more about Royals ascending the depth chart. The next phase of Kansas City&#8217;s offseason will begin when organized team activities (OTAs) get underway on Tuesday, May 27.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL just announced that one of the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; incoming rookie studs will be taking part in a certain initiative next season.
