After these five guys, this unit becomes much more of an unknown commodity for KC. The other defensive backs that I see the Chiefs getting production from this season include former BYU star Daniel Sorensen, veteran Jamell Fleming, rookie KeiVarae Russell and recently signed veteran safety Jeron Johnson.

Although there is an outside chance that any of those three could challenge for some starting time soon, I see special teams likely being the main area that these guys will contribute in the stat column for the red and gold in the upcoming season.
