In the latest news from the Kansas City Chiefs, offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has made a bold guarantee about rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen's future role on the team. Despite Allen only seeing one offensive snap in the Chiefs' Week 1 win against the Denver Broncos, Bieniemy remains confident that the young player will be a significant contributor to the team's success.
Speaking to KCSportsNetwork, Bieniemy emphasized that Allen will be brought along gradually and that he is a key part of the long-term plan for star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This statement comes as the Chiefs' downfield passing attack has struggled, with starting receivers Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton logging the majority of the offensive snaps and recording a limited number of receptions.
With Allen's impressive route-running skills and ability to beat man coverage, there is a clear expectation that Bieniemy will soon begin expanding his role and increasing his target count.
