Chiefs unsung heroes deserve praise

Kendall Reyes, Defensive End

Signed by the Chiefs on October 18th after being released by the Washington Redskins on October 5th, Reyes has provided invaluable depth along the defensive line after the injuries to both Jaye Howard and Allen Bailey.

Originally a second round selection of the San Diego Chargers in the 2012 draft, Reyes had signed a one year contract with Washington this past off season before being released. Kansas City certainly appreciates the fact he was let go as he’s really helped to, if not solidify, at least lessen the loss of two starters along the defensive front.

Reyes was signed to take the roster spot of Nick Williams, whom had been with the Chiefs since the end of the 2014 season. Williams, who is now with the Dolphins, was signed off the Steelers practice squad when Eric Berry was diagnosed with cancer, is yet to truly record a statistic with the Dolphins, while Reyes has recorded a sack, multiple tackles in recent games and, has been stated before, has been a valuable member of the rotation along the defensive line.

Much like was stated before with Terrence Mitchell, Reyes is proving to be a valuable piece on this defense and someone who may be able to stay in Kansas City past this season.
