The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the top teams in the NFL and appear to be a serious Super Bowl 53 contender. It has been a bit of a surprising season for the Chiefs, but they are now trying to add even more talent to make a playoff run.
According to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Chiefs have brought in wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin for a visit. Benjamin just cleared waivers after being released by the Buffalo Bills.
Former Bills' WR Kelvin Benjamin, who cleared waivers yesterday, is visiting the Kansas City Chiefs today, per source.

Benjamin has struggled in a big way this season and has failed to live up to the talent that many saw in him just a few short years ago. With the Bills this season in 12 games, Benjamin caught 23 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown. He is still capable of turning things around.

Patrick Mahomes is one of the front-runners to win the NFL MVP award this season. He has been putting up massive numbers, but the Chiefs are obviously trying to give him as many weapons as possible.
Kansas City will have to go through the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans. All three of those teams are capable of being tough opponents.
Benjamin may not be a guy that can take the Chiefs over the top, but it is worth seeing what he has to offer.
