Kansas City chiefs are back in the Super bowl For the third consecutive year, seeking to become the first team at three peat.
We know everything about the main parts on the list. Your Mahomes Patrick and your Kelces Travis and your Chris Jones. At this point, most people even know guys like Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis and the office lines and receivers such as the Recruue Xavier Worthy. Everyone also knows Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo.
But what about other guys who helped to bring Kansas City to this place? We are here to identify some of the most under the radar movements that helped the chiefs take up the biggest scene in football. (And yes, we know that finding movements under the radar for defense twice Super bowl Fields is quite difficult, so we left the painting a little here.)
Hiring of coach Andy Heck
The offensive line was a large part of this recent series of chief excellence, and Devil obviously plays an important role in that the season. But this year can be his part of resistance. With the plated on the left Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia in difficulty, the chiefs decided to sign Dj Humphries. When he injured himself, they kicked the left guard of star Joe Thuney outside to tackle and brought Mike Caliendo to replace him at the guard. And the Kansas City offensive line barely missed a beat in this new alignment. It is a credit for players, of course, but also for the guy who prepares them to play.
Writing of LB Leo Chenal
During its three -year career, Chenal quickly became one of the most versatile players in the League. It is essentially a hybrid medium Second and edge of the edge, which has no sense at almost all levels. According to Pro Football Focus, he played 106 snaps on the left edge, 95 on the right edge, 2 with defensive Tackle, 154 as interior seconds and 111 as an outdoor secondary this season. It’s crazy. It is a massive and mobile room for the defense of Steve Spagnuolo.
Jaylen Watson CB writing
Speaking of massive pieces on the defense … The difference in the performance of Kansas City pass game this season in the games where Watson was healthy and those where he was not is huge. It was in a way a reflection afterwards as a choice of seventh lap in a project where the chiefs have selected five defensive backs, but it became an excellent outdoor corner and appears to play a huge role in the Super Bowl against Aj Brown and Devonta Smith.
Re-Signaler RB Kareem Hunt
Hunt was on the street when the chiefs signed it earlier this season after the injury of Isiah Pacheco. At the beginning, it did not seem that he would have so much role. Kansas City liked Carson Steele and he played a little in the game where Pacheco was injured. But then Steele groped on the first journey of the first Pacheco match, Hunt had a shot and he excelled in relief. He has not broken big races this season, but he has done a good work of conversion in short films and avoided negative races, and that is what the team needed with his starter and is not Not completely healthy when he returns.
