The Kansas City Chiefs secondary added multiple players over the offseason, with several rookie defensive backs and the signing of Justin Reid, providing some fresh faces for the revamped defense.
One of the few familiar faces on the roster is fourth-year safety, Juan Thornhill. At only 26 years old, Thornhill is one of the only veteran holdovers in the defensive secondary at the safety position. He spoke about all of the new additions to the secondary during the opening day of mandatory minicamp press conferences.
“Like you said, we’re loaded,” Thornhill told reporters. “We’ve got a bunch of good guys up there. I love them as people, they’re doing a great job learning the playbook. I remember, when I was a rookie coming in, it was kind of hard to pick up on. I think they’ve been doing a heck of a job competing for the ball and I really like them a lot.”
