Could this UDFA TE be the Chiefs' next superstar pass-catcher?
The Kansas City Chiefs put a spotlight on local UDFA prospect John Michael Gyllenborg in their latest rookie hype video on social media.
The Kansas City Chiefs never waste a spot on their offseason roster, and with training camp just a few months away, the team is taking a close look at every player it currently has under contract. Among the most promising rookies that Kansas City acquired after the 2026 NFL Draft was former Wyoming Cowboys tight end John Michael Gyllenborg ā a local prospect who attended Rockhurst High School and turned heads with his productive tenure in Laramie. In four seasons with the Cowboys, Gyllenborg racked up more than 1,000 receiving yards on 80 total receptions and caught seven touchdown passes.
The Chiefs highlighted Gyllenborg as a prospect to watch in a video that was posted to the team's official Twitter account on May 8: Learn more about recent UDFA signee John Michael Gyllenborg, a tight end from the KC area. pic. twitter.
