Chiefs Meet With Kansas WR Kerry Meier

by Joel Thorman on Feb 27, 2010 3:00 PM CST in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have met with Kansas WR Kerry Meier. Most of you local folks know Meier's story. He went to Kansas as a quarterback and then Mark Mangino switched him to receiver where he did well.

The Chiefs of course could use a receiver. And Chiefs scouts attended at least a handful of KU games this season so we've been wondering which players they've been keeping their eye on.

Meier measured in at 6'2", 224 pounds at the NFL Combine. He's projected as a late round prospect.

Meier admitted to not being the fastest receiver -- he hopes to run in the 4.5 range -- but said for his size he's very athletic.

"Kerry Meier is a guy I’ve enjoyed watching," said NFL Network's Mike Mayock. "He’s one of those productive, third-down possession guys. He’s not going to run fast, but the thing I like about him is he’s got a big body and he knows how to use it, kind of like a weak-side rebounder in basketball.

I'm admittedly not a big KU fan but Meier seems like the type of guy that Scott Pioli and Todd Haley would like.

Meier also met with the 49ers and Bucs, according to Chris Steuber of Scout.com.

He will be very dependable in the NFL

He seemed to always be Reising’s most reliable target. He has great hands and is willing to always do what is asked from him. And with him previously being a QB he is always willing to take the blame and put it upon himself if something goes wrong.

Gonna be a solid slot guy

If we can’t get Shipley maybe he works well there

Definitely a team first guy

Always thought Pioli and Haley would be fans of him. Not the best athlete, but smart and reliable hands. Would be glad to take him in the late rounds.

As a Mizzou fan,

it pains me to say but I would not mind whatsoever if we were to take Meier in the late rounds. Of course I would rather have the more athletic Danario Alexander, but he is plagued by injuries. Meier would be a solid contributer.

We need

speed, speed and more speed. I do not want this guy unless it is very late in the draft. You can find a player like him anywhere.

SWEET!!!!

We can find WRs with great hands that run great routes and don’t drop balls anywhere. Man is that good news for us.

I think he is very similar to Austin Collie

Not the best athlete (Collie ran a 4.6 40), but a smart receiver with very good hands who will be where the QB needs him to be. Tell me that the Chiefs couldn’t use a receiver like that.

Meant to be a reply to Rowdy Chief

Very versatile and a great potential for creating matchup problems

With his size, he could line up in the slot or be utilized in an H-back type role.

He’s not fast, but he’s a football player.

I am a KU fan and am biased as such

but I would love to see the Chiefs take a chance on Kerry Meier, or Dezmon Briscoe, for that matter.

by MtHammer on Feb 27, 2010 7:56 PM CST reply actions

I am also a KU fan and one thing not mentioned from Meier's combine

was his weight lift reps. He put Briscoe to shame.
If KC really is interested they better not think they will get him as an undrafted free agent.

lol

they didnt like how Mangino treated em wait till they get a load of Haley

by Bleedzredngold on Feb 27, 2010 8:50 PM CST reply actions

Actually Meier backed Mangino during that whole ordeal.

I think Meier will be a solid contributor wherever be goes.

After switching to WR he still regularly attended the QB meetings, so he would know exactly where to be to support the QB. He’s excellent at adjusting his routes to get open if there’s pressure.

Pittsburg purple dragon

Kerry was the Q B for the purple dragons . This kid is smart and he is a winner he will give a team every thing he has. when he was asked to go from Q B TO W R he did not complain he did what was best for the team . Just look at his dropped balls he puts the whole chiefs W R to shame.
