The Kansas City Chiefs had a lot of offseason turnover with Brett Veach choosing to replace several key players in every phase of the game for 2022. They lost a ton of experience in the way of snaps, but they’ve reinforced their roster with veterans and rookies alike.
Which players have seen the field the most at the bye week? Below we break down the team’s snap leaders by position:
Snap numbers via NFL Game Statistics and Information System
Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes hasn’t played 100% of the snaps thanks to a few blowout performances in Week 1 and Week 7.
Offensive line: Joe Thuney

Snaps: 473
Thuney is the only player to play 100% of the snaps at any position, which isn’t too surprising given his iron-man status.
Running back: Jerick McKinnon

Snaps: 200
