Jared Wiley

Chiefs selected TCU TE Jared Wiley with the No. 131 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Wiley (6'6/249) spent three years as a backup at Texas before transferring to TCU for the 2022 season. He stepped into a more prominent role in his first season on campus and totaled 245 yards plus four scores. In his fifth and final collegiate season, Wiley broke out with 520 yards and eight scores on 47 grabs. Wiley’s large frame and clean routes made it easy for him to earn targets and he rarely failed to bring in his looks. Pro Football Focus credited him with a lone drop on 120 career targets. On the other hand, he only broke five tackles throughout his career and averaged just shy of six yards after the catch per carry. Wiley is also a willing run blocker but could use a few more pounds in his lower body to give him a better base when taking on defenders. Wiley has the size to play in all phases on offense but rarely showed a ceiling as a pass-catcher. He will begin his career as a backup to Travis Kelce in Kansas City.
