After sending Hill to Miami, it was uncertain whether the Chiefs offense would remain one of the most potent in the league, but Kansas City went on to defy the odds and win it all for the second time with Patrick Mahomes under center and Andy Reid calling the shots on the sideline.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the 2023 NFL season that the Chiefs would really feel the absence of Hill downfield, with the Chiefs’ current receiving corps being one of the worst in the league.

One receiver who was expected to step up in Hill’s absence was Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but he has failed to live up to expectations over the past two seasons and currently only has 17 catches on the season.

Frustrations boiled to the surface for Valdes-Scantling recently in this locker room interview in which he didn’t like the questions he was fielding from PJ Green of FOX4 News Kansas City, which he felt compelled to respond to on Twitter.

Even though Valdes-Scantling tried to deflect the question about his poor play this season, the fact remains that he hasn’t really made an impact on this team that desperately needs some production from the wide receiver position.

It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out over the next few months and whether the lack of a consistent threat downfield may hurt the Chiefs’ chances of repeating as Super Bowl champions.
