While Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Kansas City's offense garner a lot of attention, the Chiefs' rookie CBs have been a major factor for the AFC West leaders this season. ChiefsKingdom
in the seventh. That trifecta of picks has started to pay off in recent weeks—all three rookies have begun to step up in their collective role as the future of the Chiefs’ secondary.
McDuffie was always expected to be the real deal in Kansas City as their highest overall draft selection. The unfortunate part for his team is that he’s the one who’s played the least thanks to a hamstring injury in the middle of the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been making plays while he’s been active.
In 45 coverage snaps over those first two games, McDuffie didn’t allow a single catch. In his return to action against the Titans on Sunday, he recorded his first pass breakup. Yes, one of those games was against a struggling rookie quarterback, but that doesn’t completely account for the fact that he was rarely targeted in those two games as well.
In McDuffie’s absence between Week 1 and Week 9, his fellow rookie cornerbacks have stepped up and made big plays of their own. Watson, playing in immediate relief of McDuffie in Week 1, came in and got tested nearly immediately on a deep pass to veteran wideout A.J. Green. The seventh-round rookie stayed with Green and proceeded to break up the pass cleanly near the sideline.
Chiefs rookie cornerback Jaylen Watson, in for Trent McDuffie, registered a PBU against Cardinals wide receiver AJ Green.
