Josh Gordon is 30 years old. Hasn't been a consistent NFL contributor since 2013. Has to learn new offense, timing, quarterback. Got to be realistic here.

2021 projection: 75-1,655-20
Gordon hasn’t played in the NFL since 2019 and even before his suspension for the 2020 season his appearances were irregular.
The Chiefs are taking a chance on him despite his past unreliability because they need someone to threaten defenses aside from Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. They’ve lost back-to-back games to the Ravens and Chargers, so the pressure is on to change things up for the better.
Gordon will have to work his way up the KC depth chart before he proves capable of that role.
NFL fans can trust Twitter will be watching his progress closely.
