Ex-Oakland Raiders WR Rod Streater fits in with Kansas City Chiefs

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Last season, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin made a smooth transition into the Kansas City Chiefs' offense after signing with as an unrestricted free agent.

But Maclin has lengthy experience with the offense of head coach Andy Reid from their shared time in Philadelphia.

This offseason, another free agent receiver is making a quick transition to the Reid offense: former Oakland Raiders receiver Rod Streater.

"It's been really good," said the third-year receiver out of Temple. "I've fit right into the offense and just try and go out there and make plays when I can."

Streater has been working at the outside receiver spots, while getting numerous snaps working as the offense's slot receiver.

"Lining up on the slot, I feel like I can beat nickels." Streater said. "It's a mismatch. I'm 6-3 and guys probably won't think I can get open. I can fight inside or anywhere coach wants to put me; that's where I'm going to make plays."

--Defensive lineman Chris Jones was the Chiefs' first selection in the 2016 NFL Draft, grabbed out of Mississippi State in the second round.

Through the Chiefs' offseason program, Jones has impressed his veteran teammates.

"He's definitely coming along," defensive tackle Jaye Howard said of Jones. "I think this scheme definitely fits him. He's able to get pressure on the quarterback. He's beating guys and feel like that's going to translate once we put on pads. He's staying after practice working with the coaches, working with us. He's getting better."

--Wide receiver Albert Wilson entered the NFL three years ago as an undrafted rookie out of Georgia State.

As he prepares for his third season with the Chiefs, Wilson will begin training camp as the starting receiver opposite Jeremy Maclin in the Kansas City offense.

But his biggest moment of the year has already happened. Earlier in the offseason, Wilson bought a home for his parents in his native Florida, moving them about 30 minutes south from Ft Pierce to Port St. Lucie.

"It is something that I've been working on since my rookie year," Wilson said. "Just to move them out of the neighborhood they were in, it's something I always dreamed of while growing up there in the house.

"It's just something every kid that gets to this stage wants to do it for their parents."

Wilson does not own a home himself; he still lives in an apartment in Kansas City.

"My Mom was the first goal that I had," Wilson said. "I'm good where I'm at now and I'm pretty much saving on that end."
