The Kansas City Chiefs have proven time and again to be one of the elite teams in the modern NFL.<\/p>\n
With a top-notch coaching staff and a roster of great talent on both sides of the ball, the Chiefs hardly needed a significant contribution from this year’s rookie class.<\/p>\n
However, Kansas City’s freshman players were key to winning the actual contest when they thrived in their divisional playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
It started (and probably ended) with the incredible talent of Round 7 running back Isiah Pacheco, who leads the team in rushing. Rutgers’ product had over 100 yards of scrimmage on the day, including interrupting a 39-yard run to knock the Chiefs to the 1-yard line late in the second quarter. Played a key role in crushing it on the ground against defense.<\/p>\n

Two rookie members of the secondary also made a big impact on the Chiefs, as both Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson had impressive games in their biggest moments.<\/p>\n
In yet another seventh round, Watson broke two passes and came up with an incredible one-handed interception to put a dagger into the game late in the fourth quarter. In the first round, McDuffie allowed only one catch for 7 yards against one of the best passing attacks in the league and was a lockdown corner all game.<\/p>\n
