Could Michael Vick be Plan B if Kansas City Chiefs lose QB Alex Smith? | ESPN

Signed as a free agent in late May, Streater has turned heads through the first week of training camp. In what is a wide-open competition for jobs behind Watkins and rookie Zay Jones, Streater has put himself squarely in the mix.
“He's one of the highlights of camp so far,” coach Sean McDermott said. “Big, strong wide receiver. Did a nice job of digesting the system in a short amount of time.
