The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense continues to improve as young talent added through the draft reshapes the unit. A rebranded secondary consisting of first and second-year players was a significant reason the Chiefs made their triumphant Super Bowl run in 2022.
A vital part of the secondary is starting cornerback Trent McDuffie who played well as a rookie last season when he was not dealing with injuries. The former first-round pick missed six games due to a nagging hamstring injury during Kansas City’s Week 1 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He spoke with reporters on Monday after practice to praise the defensive gameplan from coordinator Steve Spagnuolo who is heavily emphasizing red zone coverage in training camp workouts.
