Fifth-round rookie Allen dominates Chiefs camp with five catches, elite body control, and Mahomes' growing trust.
Fifth-round rookie receiver has emerged as one of the Chiefs' top developments in the opening week of training camp, with snaps and highlights increasing daily. In Friday's practice, Allen led all receivers with five catches during 11-on-11 reps with first-team offense, including a one-handed leaping catch between three defenders and a contested back-shoulder fade against the Chiefs' best cornerback Nohl Williams. Coach Andy Reid said "He's done a nice job. The quarterback trusts him." Fellow receiver Xavier Worthy stated "This isn't even surprising [to me]. He's going to continue showing out in camp." Allen has quickly elevated himself over Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals for the No. 4 receiver role and earned the opportunity to stay in the huddle with Mahomes during first padded practice Monday.
