He was a good athlete and he was alert in scramble drills, which brought him value. Obviously he was missing some factor that could elevate him into the starting lineup, or the guys in front of him had too much talent. But he's had a longer NFL career than most.
He caught Patrick's first game pass ever if I remember right, and he caught Patrick's 50 TD/5,000 yard pass, so I have fond memories of him. And he'll give us "running backwards" jokes for the rest of our lives, so we'll always remember him. |

When he threw snowballs before the Broncos game at Arrowhead, Demarcus definitely was more Jackson than Patrick as far as form goes.
As far as football goes, the most impressive thing about Demarcus was how many iconic Mahomes plays he was a part of, despite being a mid WR. Remarkable highlight reel (courtesy of Mahomes mostly), unremarkable wideout. But that is enough to remember fondly.
Spoiler!

D-Rob gets all the escalades just for these.
Outside of the postseason, they are still in my top 10 Mahomes throws. |

He always seemed to be open during the scramble drill, which had a ton of value. I had that "why did we cut him?" question pop in my head a few times this last year, turns out he really wasn't that great.

I just rewatched that game last night and no it doesn't crack the top 10, I mean it was great and all but ya not top 25 or 40 for me. It would be top 10 for any other QB just not Mahomes.

Is this the same D Rob that would catch a first down only to step backwards two yards get tackled short of the first down? Or am I thinking someone else?

The Chiefs would have gone undefeated last year with Rice and 3 D-Robs. But that's mostly about how pathetic our WR corps was.

You could make a highlight reel of D Rob plays and convince someone that he’s an All Pro receiver.
You could also make a lowlight reel of D Rob plays and convince someone that he’s one of the worst players ever. |

Pretty good as a 3/4 WR I reckon but after winning the Super Bowl without him I can't really say we should've resigned him.
