Another football season is nearly upon us — and in Chiefs Kingdom, that means another preseason where fans question the talent among Kansas City Chiefs cornerbacks. Since Marcus Peters was traded in 2018, many fans have felt that general manager Brett Veach has not properly prioritized investing in the position.
Yet under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, cornerbacks coach Sam Madison and safeties coach Dave Merritt, Veach’s roster construction strategy has paid off quite nicely. Clearly, the primary decision-makers have believed they can invest few resources into the position and still trust the coaching staff to get great returns.
