The former Philadelphia Eagles wideout will be reunited with coach Andy Reid in Kansas City and he provides quarterback Alex Smith with a potent deep threat.

Maclin was a first round pick of the Eagles, who were then coached by Reid, in 2009 and he has since become one of the league's elite pass catchers.

He returned from a season-ending injury in 2013 to have a career year in 2014, when he caught 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Those returns were enough to secure him a place in the Pro Bowl and he should prove a major asset for the Chiefs offense, which struggled for consistent output from wide receivers last season.
