Just a few seasons ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were set at the cornerback position going forward. With the signing of Sean Smith and the eventual drafting of Marcus Peters, the secondary was starting to look like the Chiefs biggest strength. Add in two elite pass rushers in Justin Houston, and Tamba Hali made Kansas City’s defense terrifying for opposing quarterbacks.
These factors were a significant reason why the Chiefs defense was considered one of the best in the league during those years. Unfortunately nothing last for very long in the NFL.
