From the episode

I just like the way that they use downs last year, the way that they've used him in years that he's been more productive in 2024 and 2025 seems like something. The chiefs would really need, which is like a guy that can run like those choice routes.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Downs' choice-route ability and press-beating skills fit Chiefs' need for versatile receiver options.

The source highlights Josh Downs' ability to run choice routes and separate against press coverage as a valuable skill set the Chiefs need; his usage in prior productive years (2024-2025) with the Colts—working alongside bigger receivers like Michael Pittman to provide different matchup options against physical corners—demonstrates a clear archetype fit for Kansas City's offensive scheme.
