Chiefs signed Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell.

25 April 2026

After spending three seasons with Lindenwood, Caldwell (6’5/216) transferred to Cincinnati and finished his college career with a 32/478/6 line as a senior. This came after he tallied 1,011 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior for Lindenwood. Caldwell is a tall, speedy prospect with athletic traits that will need to be developed. He doesn’t run a complex route tree and isn’t polished as a pass-catcher yet. Production at Cincinnati wasn’t anything exciting, but Caldwell’s athletic abilities showed both through his play and through a positive performance at the NFL Combine. His 40-yard dash, 10-yard split, vertical jump, and broad jump were all in the top-three at the wide receiver position. Caldwell’s size and athleticism make him an intriguing developmental receiver at the NFL level.
