In a flurry of moves this past week, the Kansas City Chiefs added two safeties to the squad: picking up free agent veteran Ron Parker and trading for Miami Dolphins safety Jordan Lucas. On the surface, the Chiefs are adding some more depth to a concerning position.
But it’s much deeper than that.
The Chiefs now boast an entire safety group that can play in all three phases that Bob Sutton asks of that position: deep coverage ability, apex/slot defender ability, and box/hook defender ability.
It’s no secret that the Chiefs prefer versatile safeties.
