Then came the true breakout: He led the NFL with 15.5 quarterback takedowns in 2007, his fourth season, earning the first of four career All-Pro nods.
Most Important Contract Decision for Every NFL Team Ahead of 2025 Season | Bleacher Report
Kansas City Chiefs: CB Trent McDuffie
The Chiefs signed one of their two 2022 first-rounders, striking a deal with edge-rusher George Karlaftis before training camp. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they worked out an extension with McDuffie, who was their top pick from that year.
McDuffie has been effective on the boundary and in the slot, earning first- and second-team All-Pro honors over the last two terms. Despite his struggles with penalties (11) last season, he allowed an 82.9 passer rating in coverage. Kansas City exercised the fifth-year option in his contract and an extension could be next on its agenda.

Has Rashee Rice truly learned from his terrible decision? | USA Today
The third-year Kansas City Chiefs receiver on Saturday made his first public comments since being sentenced last month to 30 days in jail and five years probation after pleading guilty to two third-degree felony charges stemming from the high-speed racing incident that caused a multi-car collision.
Discipline from the NFL is likely looming, probably in the form of a multi-game suspension that will keep the starting wideout out of the lineup at the start of the season.
“I’ve completely changed,” Rice said after the morning practice at Missouri Western State University. “Honestly, you’ve got to learn from things like that. So, I’ve learned and I’ve taken advantage of being able to learn from something like that.”
Rice sure sounded like a man who has grown from his ordeal, as unnecessary as the freeway race was. Whether that reflects contrition, maturity, getting coached up on talking points or any combination of such represents just part of the takeaway from his media session.
