The Vikings had three very capable white receivers on their roster last preseason and of course cut each of them. This year Kansas City has Marc Boerigter, Chris Horn, and John Booth. Each of them is very talented. In fact, for a team with a great need for wide receivers, they should be right in the mix to be starters. But of course that isn't how it works.
Booth had a 47 yard catch last night (no one else on the team had more than 16 yards in receiving), which included a nice little run after the reception. With the team on the 5, he then made a really nice TD grab.
Booth was a star QB at a small football program who converted to WR. He did very well in NFL Europe this past season. He's from the Kansas City area, which of course means nothing.
Every black, no matter how pedestrian,who is in the Chiefs camp as a receiver is being hyped as a "sleeper" for a starting position, while the three talented white guys are studiously ignored, even Boerigter. Chris Horn's a nice receiver, but Booth looks to have more potential. Booth and Boerigter starting in '05? Ha, ha, ha.
