Ask any fan of the Kansas City Chiefs for names of some of the team's most indispensable players in 2017 and the answers will inevitably be players like Tyreek Hill and Alex Smith on offense and Justin Houston and Marcus Peters on defense.
Those answers wouldn't be wrong. But the Chiefs also have some lesser-known players who are important to their success this season and my picks for this category are rookie running back Kareem Hunt on offense and second-year lineman Chris Jones on defense.
The Chiefs drafted Hunt in the third round to help provide an offensive boost.
