I mean, that's awesome. Inside info that's likely going to pay off. Want to why we moved up for Worthy? Ask Camp Mahomes.

That's kinda the feeling I get as well. The 'chicken or egg' question here is 'Texas' over 'Priority prospect'.

I think kids from the local area and up putting themselves more firmly on the Chiefs radar by virtue of geographic proximity to Mahomes.

Those things intersected with Worthy but it might have a little to do with where we draft every year in regards to scouting the guys from Texas that are talented but maybe not on everyone's radar like Rice.

I really think the 12 and 13 sets are going to be crazy dynamic again this year. Wiley adds a nice punch for them.

If they do miss Rice to games this year, I think KC is situated to just roll with more 12 and 13 sets in those games and fill the "Rice" role with Kecle or Gray or Wiley or even Irv Smith.

I do kinda wonder if they invite guys they intend to strongly consider or if some of these guys end up strongly considered BECAUSE they excelled after an invite.

I mean...it seems mostly to be a proximity thing. Mahomes is close, you're in the draft...swing on by.

So do these guys go there at a 5 on the 'likely to be drafted' meter and work themselves up to an 8? Or are they all walking in at 0 because they just happened to be close to where Mahomes was working out and then they end up forcing themselves into the discussion.

Shortened: How predictive is the invite list for Camp Mahomes?

Thanks for posting. I think we have to temper them a bit with the whole Big 12 defense thing, but kid seems to have some the goods if he’s fast enough to make it work.
