Chiefs add TE David Wells to their practice squad

Oh no. Another No. 88.

The Chiefs may be looking to create competition at their third tight end spot.

After the Kansas City Chiefs worked out former Oakland Raiders tight end Clive Walford on Monday, I speculated they were potentially trying to create some on-roster completion for Alex Ellis. That continued Tuesday with more workouts.

When it was all said and done, the Chiefs did add a tight end to their practice squad—David Wells (no, not not that David Wells), who played college football at San Diego State.

Wells, 23, is listed at 6 feet 6 and 256 pounds. He is a two-time member of the All-Mountain West second team (2016-17). Wells originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in April.

Here is a brief writeup on Wells courtesy of Lance Zierlein of NFL.com:

Wells is leaned on to do some of the heavy lifting as a run-blocking specialist in the Aztecs offense, but his play strength needs to match his size on a more consistent basis. Wells isn’t going to threaten defenses very often in the passing game so he will need to become more physical as a run blocker if he wants to find a roster spot and NFL playing time.

Wells finished with 38 receptions for 449 yards and six touchdowns in his 52 games at San Diego State.

I expect that he is on board to provide competition for the Chiefs’ current third tight end, Alex Ellis. As of this writing, we have yet to see a corresponding move.
