Trent McDuffie highlights the Kansas City Chiefs' cornerback group, but can Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson step up even further after losing L'Jarius Sneed?
have boasted strong cornerback play under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and defensive backs coach Dave Merritt, but how will the corners shake out in 2024?McDuffie is deserving of all the praise he's received this offseason and, frankly, he probably should have seen even more in 2023. Sneed was a tremendous weapon for Spagnuolo and gave the Chiefs' defense an extra dynamic unique to Sneed's skillset, but McDuffie was KC's best corner last year too.
I have a McDuffie question and one player I haven't mentioned who could be a wildcard in this unit, but how do you feel about the McDuffie/Williams/Watson group as KC's top trio?Had McDuffie not spent so much time on the outside throughout his career and had success doing it, I'd push back a little bit. With that said, McDuffie did have just as good an argument as Sneed for being the club's top CB on a snap-to-snap basis last season.
That rolls into my McDuffie question: In "base" packages with only two cornerbacks, McDuffie and either Watson or Williams will be the Chiefs' outside corners. When the Chiefs need a slot defender, should McDuffie kick into the slot as he did at an elite level last year, or should Spagnuolo keep him on the outside and let Conner primarily have the slot role?I'm taking a set-it-and-forget-it approach with McDuffie on the outside.
