Chiefs take a chance on WR Demarcus Robinson

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs have selected receiver Demarcus Robinson out of Florida in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The super-talented wideout comes with character concerns, as he was suspended multiple times throughout his collegiate career with the Gators.

The Chiefs certainly don't shy away from potential character concerns in draft picks, taking Marcus Peters in the first round in 2015. Robinson's talent is undeniable, and if he can maintain focus under Andy Reid's watch, this could be a steal for Alex Smith and the Kansas City offense.
