The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free-agent receiver/kick returner
Eddie Drummond, days after Drummond was cut by the Lions.

Drummond already has been installed as the starting punt returner and kick returner.

He fills a void that was created by the offseason trade of Dante Hall, the so-called "Human Joystick" who took the league by storm with his highlight-reel returns in 2003. But Hall never developed into a pass-catching threat, and his numbers had diminished over the past couple of years.

Drummond was a Pro Bowler in 2004, but also has had trouble developing as a receiver.

He signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs, presumably for the league minimum.

Hall struggled as a receiver but was a Pro Bowl returner.

Drummond struggles as a receiver but was a Pro Bowl returner.

Note to coaches - stop trying to turn these guys into receivers! They're valuable enough taking kicks back for touchdowns!

Anyway, good signing for the Chiefs. The could use another explosive guy back there on special teams.

This is a good replacement for Hall... the Penn State kid is a premier returner...let him be...though the Chief have little talent at receiver...so he might be asked to try.
