Hollywood Brown’s timely return gives a weak Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver room some fangs ahead of the playoffs. However, Brown and several other impactful Chiefs pass catchers hit free agency after this season. The Chiefs need to add new talent through the 2025 NFL draft.
TCU Horned Frogs standout Jack Bech isn’t as physically gifted as his TCU teammate Savion Williams but plays a much more polished style of football. Officially listed at 6’1 3/8″, 218 lbs. by Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy, Bech is a densely built veteran with the power to fight through press coverage.
Bech’s release package includes swims and swipes that help him work across the corner’s face early in the route and win the leverage battle. He lacks the elite speed and twitch to threaten cornerbacks vertically but excels at manipulating tempo and leverage to create natural separation.

Bech runs detailed routes with sharp breaks that allow him to separate from the cornerback. When that fails, he uses his superior strength to drive the defender off balance. Bech finds himself in many contested catch scenarios but possesses the strong hands and body control to out-duel cornerbacks.
Bech shreds zone coverage. His natural feel for finding holes makes him a reliable outlet for quarterbacks. Bech’s sturdy frame makes him a nightmare for cornerbacks after the catch. His contact balance, fierce stiff arm, and play strength contribute to him generating extra yards.
Bech’s physical limitations prevent him from earning a high ranking grade. A team could select him in the third round, but he projects best as a fourth or fifth-round selection.
