The Kansas City Chiefs saw one All-Pro safety leave this offseason — but they’ll still have one on the team, if you ask fourth-year defensive back Juan Thornhill.
“I got high expectations; it’s as simple as that,” Thornhill told reporters Thursday, after the first practice of mandatory minicamp. “I’m planning on playing my best football, by far, at the top of my game. I’m expecting an All-Pro season. I’m saying that right now.”
The bold proclamation came after answering questions about what life will be like without Tyrann Mathieu — the veteran safety that was awarded first-team All-Pro twice in his three seasons in Kansas City.
