Summary
For the Kansas City Chiefs, this season began with questions about who would fill the massive void left by wide receiver Tyreek Hill. And the answer has come in the form of not one, not two, not three, not four, but five new wideouts. Today, Sports Illustrated's Alex Prewitt explains how this group of mostly under-the-radar receivers has come together and coalesced under Patrick Mahomes, why they ended up with the bizarre nickname ‘Rogue Ninjas,' and the role this fivesome could play in a potential Super Bowl run.
