KC Chiefs: Breaking down the competition at safety
By Grant Tuttle
#26 Deon Bush
College: Miami
Years Pro: 7 (28 years old)
Chance of Making the Roster: High
After six seasons with the Chicago Bears, Deon Bush is now a Chief. Coming off of a career year, the Chiefs signed him to a one-year “prove-it” deal. Bush finished last season with two interceptions and five pass deflections. Bush projects to be a part of the rotation and a potential special teams contributor. Look for Bush to be a part of the battle at the top of the safety position.
#39 Zayne Anderson
College: BYU
Years Pro: 1 (25 years old)
Chance of Making the Roster: Medium
The Chiefs have a replacement for Daniel Sorensen on their roster and his name is Zayne Anderson. He will likely not see a lot of playing time on defense but he will be one of the top special teamers on the roster. With a motor that doesn’t quit, look for Anderson to make the roster and an impact on the team.
#42 Devon Key
College: Western Kentucky
Years Pro: 1 (24 years old)
Chance of Making the Roster: Low
Devon Key returns for his second season with the Chiefs. Despite not making the roster a season ago, Key was able to earn a spot on the practice squad. Key will be working for a bottom-end role on the roster. With good playing strength and energy, Key has an outside chance of making the roster as a core special teamer.
