The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense took a significant step forward with the stellar play from veterans and young players. A breakout star was second-year LB Nick Bolton, who finished the season among the league’s leading tacklers.
Missouri DE Isaiah McGuire played just a short distance from the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, getting a close view of the success his former Mizzou teammate had at the pro level. McGuire was named First-Team All-SEC last season, showing flashes of dominance against the toughest division in college football.
