Amid the best defensive season in the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent history, there are plenty of headlining players available to lead the unit. While defensive tackle Chris Jones is the star of the show, cornerbacks L’Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie have earned a name for themselves — and linebacker Nick Bolton has been spelled by playmakers like Willie Gay Jr. and Drue Tranquill.
But those are just some of those in a group that is tied for the league lead in points allowed per game (15.9). The unit is stacked with quality players like Mike Danna, George Karlaftis, Derrick Nnadi and newcomer Charles Omenihu — and head coach Andy Reid knows it.
