The K.C. Chiefs are coming off a disappointing performance in Super Bowl LV and are looking for a better showing to open the 2021 NFL season. Although the Chiefs went 14-2 and returned to the Super Bowl for a second straight year, there are still some returning players who need to step up in 2021.

Some of the players you will see on this list are coming off their rookie seasons, while others have been with the team for a couple years. Some are expected to see more playing time this season.
