Chiefs training camp standouts: WR Justyn Ross and 4 other stars getting the hype

It's once again that time of year when football fans and reporters go absolutely crazy about standout prospects from training camps.

Among others, second-year Kansas City Chiefs receiver Justyn Ross has received plenty of attention and praise since joining the team last season.

Prior to injuries ending his college football career and forcing him to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs, Ross was anticipated to be selected in the first round of the draft.

Ross ended up on injured reserve last season after only a couple of sessions during first-year camp. He is currently a favorite target for Patrick Mahomes, and his performance thus far in the Chiefs' training camp lately has been lauded from all sides.

Many Chiefs supporters are already giddy with hope, thinking that this might be the season that Ross makes a comeback.

Rashee Rice, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Deneric Prince, and Justin Watson are some additional Kansas City Chiefs players that have drawn attention during training camp.

Fans of the Chiefs may anticipate exciting things from Rashee Rice, another talented target. Everyone believed that Rice could provide a skill set that is particular to this team when he was selected. In training camp, he demonstrated it by showcasing a talent for receiving difficult downfield passes.

It seems like the Chiefs have discovered yet another treasure in RB Deneric Prince. He has regularly performed well during camp, particularly when receiving passes.

At the Chiefs' training camp, rookie Felix Anudike-Uzomah was the first defensive player to show off his talent while competing against more seasoned players like Donovan Smith.

Justyn Ross, a wide receiver in his second season, has also been making waves throughout training camp this summer.
