Kansas City Chiefs Receiver Jalen Royals Puts In Offseason Work At D1 West Cobb | D1 Daily

Former Utah State star and second-year NFL receiver Jalen Royals has been working at D1 West Cobb in Dallas, Georgia, outside Atlanta.

The receiver is no stranger to putting in long hours at the gym. His path to the NFL was unconventional. He was a 0-star recruit and played JUCO ball at Georgia Military before transferring to Utah State.

With the Aggies, Royals became a star. His junior year, he recorded 71 catches for 1,080 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns.

He was named to the All-MWC First-Team for his 2023 campaign.

He had a massive standout game against Connecticut in 2023. He finished with seven catches for 185 yards and three touchdowns.

He was selected with the 133rd pick (fourth round) of the 2025 NFL Draft. Royals played in 7 games for the Chiefs, recording a pair of catches. 

The Chiefs might be eyeballing a bigger role for Royals in 2026, according to Fansided's KC Kingdom.
