Kansas City Chief’s Jared Wiley comes back to Temple to meet with fans

TEMPLE, Texas (KWTX) - Former Temple Wildcat and recent draft pick for the Kansas City Chiefs Jared Wiley returned to his hometown for a meet-and-greet at Bold Republic Brewing on Tuesday.

Wiley connected with the community that supported him throughout his journey from Friday nights at Wildcat Stadium to the NFL.

Following a standout career at TCU, the quarterback-turned-tight end was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth round of this year’s draft. Wiley’s return home comes after the conclusion of the Chiefs rookie minicamp, where KC head coach Andy Reid told reporters he was “impressed” by Wiley’s performance.

Wiley joins the Chiefs on the heels of back-to-back Super Bowl wins and will play alongside future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce. The Central Texas product returns to Kansas City on July 16, when the Chiefs rookies will report for training camp.
