Chiefs All-Pro defensive back Trent McDuffie spoke with reporters on Wednesday about his self-evaluation as the team’s lead cornerback after two games.
“I think I’m doing my job good,” said McDuffie. “Definitely things that I have to clean up on the backend as far as communication, as far as technique wise. (I’m) kind of still getting comfortable out there at the corner position and playing that role that (Defensive Coordinator) Coach (Steve) Spags (Spagnuolo) wants me to play.”
McDuffie earned his All-Pro honors last season as a slot cornerback and has transitioned to the lead defensive back following the opposing team’s best receiver.
“I thought I did a good job at just making sure everybody knows where I’m at on the field,” said McDuffie. “Having to travel, a lot of guys have to go to different places, so just being vocal about that and just letting people know where I’m at on the field is kind of something that I’m trying to work on a little bit better.”
The Chiefs defense has had mixed reviews through two games, but McDuffie has been impressive in his new role.
