The Kansas City Chiefs have hired the first official addition to defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s staff with the addition of defensive backs coach David Merritt, who served on staff with Steve Wilks and the Arizona Cardinals just last year.
Merritt is a former seventh-round pick himself back in the 1993 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. He lasted a single season in South Florida before heading west to the Arizona Cardinals for two seasons. He also lasted one year in the World League of American Football (yes, that was a Euro minor league attempt for those of you who are younger Chiefs fans).
