The Kansas City Chiefs defense has received its fair share of attention at training camp, with some highlights and aggressive plays catching the attention of observers ahead of the team’s first preseason game. The unit is often overlooked, given that all the firepower on offense grabs the lion’s share of notice from the national media, but the unit has shown significant improvements over the last few seasons.
One new addition to the defense this season is linebacker Drue Tranquill, who brings an extra veteran presence familiar with the Chiefs’ AFC West rivals after starting his career with the Los Angeles Chargers. Tranquill spoke to the media on Monday and shared his excitement to sign with the Chiefs and extrapolated on how he appreciated the front office’s view of him during contract negotiations.
