Arrowhead Pride on Cyrus Allen
From the article
wide receiver Cyrus Allen made a lot of noise with just two catches for 20 yards. He stood out in training camp for having chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes... 'He has a good feel, and he has good quickness,' Reid described Allen. 'He knows how to set routes up, which sometimes takes a while for young guys to learn, but he has a good feel for that.'
STACKED’s take
Fifth-round rookie impressing in camp and preseason with route-running feel and quickness.
Fifth-round rookie WR competing for the fourth spot in the Chiefs' receiving corps. Allen has impressed in training camp with chemistry with Patrick Mahomes and demonstrated route-running ability, quickness, and feel for setting up routes—skills Reid noted typically take time for young receivers to develop. In the preseason opener against the Rams, Allen caught two passes for 20 yards and showed elusiveness on a chains-moving run after the catch from Justin Fields, plus secured difficult catches in tight coverage from backup quarterbacks Garrett Nussmeier and Fields. Reid highlighted his route-running, catching ability, and quickness as differentiators from competing receivers Jalen Royals and Nikko Remigio.
