Pre-Camp Breakdown: Evaluating the Chiefs Group of Defensive Backs | The Mothership
Glendon Miller
An undrafted free agent signee, the 6-foot-3, 207-pound Miller primarily lined up over the slot last season, recording 39 tackles, three interceptions and three tackles-for-loss. It was a strong exclamation point on a career that included seven total picks over the last two seasons.
He put together a great pro day, too, recording a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and a 38-inch vertical jump that would have ranked fourth among all safeties at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Major Williams
A rookie from Carson-Newman University, Williams earned a contract with a successful tryout at Rookie Minicamp in May.
The 5-foot-11, 198-pound safety recorded 7.5 tackles-for-loss, six pass-breakups, a forced fumble and an interception in 12 games last season.

28. C CREED HUMPHREY, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

His yearly average nearly doubles the next closest center, Tyler Linderbaum. Humphrey has also earned a 95.1 run-blocking grade on zone-scheme runs during that span, making him a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ dominant front protecting Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City Chiefs under 11.5 (-120)
Hot take: The Chiefs are not going to go 11-0 in one-score games again this season. What’s more, their division keeps getting tougher and, holy Taylor Swift, the schedule … they open in Brazil, follow up with a Super Bowl rematch and also play Baltimore, Detroit, Washington and Buffalo in their first nine games. Five of their first eight games are on prime-time TV, and they also play on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes, Patrick Mahomes is too good for his own good. But the Chiefs got blown out in the Super Bowl because their offensive line got pushed backward and Andy Reid gave up on the running game. The jury is out if former 49ers backup Jaylon Moore and rookie Josh Simmons address the offensive line issue, but there is still enough talent on this team to cruise to 11 wins and save Travis Kelce’s legs for the playoffs.

Brashard Smith, Kansas City Chiefs
When the Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to Miami Dolphins, the move forced Patrick Mahomes to become a better all-around quarterback...and he did.
Two more Super Bowl titles later, the Chiefs are now looking for ways to become more explosive after failing to three-peat, while taking some of the pressure off of Mahomes to be highly efficient while simultaneously serving as...
