Armstrong is listed as the sixth receiver on the Chiefs' 53-man roster prediction over Nikko Remigio; special teams coordinator Dave Toub noted Armstrong as someone he is excited about 'as a cover guy' on Monday. He has stepped up in the place of injured starting receivers this camp and has seen plenty of throws from Mahomes at practice. He appears to be more than the big-bodied, jumpball player that can fool Chiefs Kingdom at training camp.

The 6-foot-4 reserve wide receiver from Texas A&M–Commerce is drawing attention at Chiefs training camp for his physical profile and on-field performance. Armstrong pulled down a contested deep catch from Justin Fields during seven-on-sevens in a rainy practice, earning recognition as one of the team's top highlights. With Rashee Rice sidelined from live drills due to offseason knee surgery, Armstrong received numerous reps with Patrick Mahomes and the first-team offense. The Athletic's Jesse Newell compared Armstrong's longshot roster bid to Tyquan Thornton's path a year prior, noting that Armstrong's height offers a profile the Chiefs have long sought in their wideout rotation. Armstrong has never played a regular season NFL snap and will turn 26 during the coming season.

Undrafted free agent WR signed to Chiefs Reserve/Future contract in January 2025 after stints with Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions practice squad; competing for roster spot during training camp at Missouri Western State University. Armstrong, 6'4", has strong family ties to Kansas City and is receiving deliberate coaching attention from wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea, who is noted for working with him more deliberately than typical Reserve/Future contract players. Armstrong has built chemistry with QB Patrick Mahomes through extra practices before full squad reports, positioning himself as a long-shot candidate to make the roster despite being a soon-to-be 26-year-old with no regular-season NFL snaps.

Armstrong faces long odds to make the Chiefs roster as a soon-to-be 26-year-old with no regular-season NFL experience. He went undrafted in 2025, failed to stick with the Miami Dolphins or their practice squad, and spent 15 weeks off a team before signing with Kansas City. His path to the NFL has been unconventional: a no-star recruit who redshirted at Texas A&M–Commerce, missed the 2020 season due to COVID, then broke out in 2022 with 62 catches for 1,020 yards and 13 touchdowns before transferring to Arkansas, where he totaled 134 catches for 1,904 yards and six touchdowns in two seasons.

Despite being 26 years old with no regular-season NFL snaps, Armstrong is competing for a depth chart opportunity in an environment he values for its coaching quality and family ties to Kansas City.
