The Kansas City Chiefs heard cries to fix the secondary this offseason and made moves by signing safety Tyrann Mathieu and drafting Juan Thornhill, a versatile safety who can play cornerback if needed. While they lost cornerback Steven Nelson to the Steelers in free agency, they signed Bashaud Breeland. They also signed Keith Reaser, who was a standout corner in the Alliance of American Football; however, they lost him for the season with a torn achilles in training camp.
Between Mathieu, Thornhill, Breeland, and the pieces already in place, the Chiefs’ secondary is undoubtedly better than it was last season.
