Chiefs scouting report: Virginia Tech Hokies WR Da'Quan Felton
The Kansas City Chiefs drafted plenty of slot receivers in recent years, but the team needs to add some size to its wide receiver room. The 2025 NFL draft primarily features slot options toward the back of the top 100 selections, but a handful of Day 3 prospects possess the height and weight combinations to add another dimension to Kansas City's offense.
Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy lists Virginia Tech Hokies wideout Da'Quan Felton as standing 6'4 1/4" and weighing 216 lbs with 33-inch arms. Despite his size, Felton quickly eats the cornerback's cushion in off-man and threatens defenses vertically. His speed helps him stack cornerbacks out of press coverage. Felton's speed popped more often in 2023 than in 2024, but Virginia Tech's offense deserves plenty of blame for that decline.
Felton's frame presents a large target for press corners. He needs to diversify his release package but already uses swipes to clear the corner's hands before accelerating vertically. Felton identifies and sits in holes in zone coverage at the short and intermediate levels. He works back to the football to prevent defenders from undercutting the throw.

Felton isn't twitchy and doesn't break many tackle attempts. However, his acceleration and top speed challenge pursuit angles when he catches the ball in stride on slants and crossing routes. Felton's size makes him an effective stalk blocker to contribute in the run game or on wide receiver screens.
Felton's lack of dynamic athleticism and inconsistent ability to separate on complex routes limit his ceiling as a prospect. The Chiefs could begin thinking about calling his name in the draft's middle rounds.

Rams Head Coach Addresses Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams' Pairing
Rams Head Coach Addresses Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams' Pairing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay had strong words when asked about the pairing of former New York Jets wideout Davante Adam and his Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Advertisement The 37-year-old quarterback appeared in 16 games for the Rams during the 2024 season, throwing for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading Los Angeles into the postseason. The former Georgia Bulldog is entering his fifth season under head coach Sean McVay and 16th of his NFL career since being selected No. 1 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. NFL veteran Davante Adams, 32, signed with the Rams in the offseason after he was released by the Jets. Adams finished last season with 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns despite playing with multiple starting quarterbacks. He has recorded 1,000-plus receiving yards six times throughout his NFL career and has totaled 103 touchdowns. McVay's respect for Adams was evident from the start, as he highlighted the All-Pro receiver's film in a team meeting shortly after his arrival. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay looks Lew-Imagn Images Both veterans are proven stars — Stafford won Super Bowl LVI with McVay in February 2022, while Adams remains widely regarded as one of the NFL's premier route runners. Advertisement 'What I think is really cool to be able to witness is the respect that you can feel they have for one another,' McVay told reporters. "... Matthew's got such a great way of being able to connect and communicate. And it's the same thing with Davante. "Those guys have such a high level of understanding of what they want. ... It's been cool to watch." With both players entering the latter stages of their careers, McVay's focus remains on maximizing what they can do together — and looking to build on last year's playoff success. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.
