Jake Briningstool isn’t the only rookie tight end the Chiefs are planning around

The lion's share of the spotlight on the Kansas City Chiefs at tight end concerns one of two topics going into the 2025 season: the return of Travis Kelce and the potential of Jake Briningstool. Anything other than that has been relegated to the margins. That's too bad for Tre Watson. Watson is, by definition, a roster longshot as an undrafted free agent signing for the Chiefs. Yet Briningstool has the same official standing and yet he's the topic du jour on the offensive side of the ball. Some members of Chiefs Kingdom have already handed one a roster spot while most fans couldn't even name Tre Watson if you filled in most of the letters in his name. On the surface, the lack of attention makes sense. Watson's career numbers over four seasons look rather pedestrian: 77 catches for 872 yards and 5 touchdowns over four full seasons of playing time, the first three of which were at Fresno State. Even in his final season at Texas A&M, Watson had 21 catches for 280 yards and 1 score. As we said: pedestrian. H
