The Kansas City Chiefs linebackers have substantially improved their reputation over the past few seasons. They are a young group, led by Nick Bolton and Willie Gay Jr., and have begun to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with for opposing offenses.
Bolton, in particular, has quickly become a consistent defensive presence with his stellar play that some believed should have earned him a Pro Bowl selection in 2022. The former Missouri standout led the Chiefs in tackles last year and has preached the importance of the defense being respected around the league. Bolton revealed his desire for the defense to focus more on stopping opposing running games while speaking with the media after Tuesday’s practice.
