    I’m still skeptical but If Andy Reid and team have seen something in him and in a Mahomes/LRZ combo that could be a great landing spot.
    IMO it’s all about marketing and selling the idea of the NFL to wider audiences. Similar to the New York Jets receiving the rights to Ireland as part of the NFLs Global Markets Program

    The Chiefs can carry an IPP player because they’re not on the 53 player roster. LRZ may make an appearance in a special play but it would be a huge development to see him named in a match day squad/team

    can't see him getting any serious game time, as others have said he's a marketing tool now.
    he's an impressive athlete and undoubtedly talented, but he's up against just as talented athletes who have been playing this game for years
