There is plenty of hype surrounding the incoming class of Kansas City Chiefs rookies and for a variety of different reasons.
One of the biggest reasons for excitement is just the sheer number of potential contributors to arise from this rookie class. The 10 players drafted are the most in a single class by the Chiefs since 2008. There’s even some early chatter about undrafted free agent Justyn Ross and his potential to make the team.
Another reason that fans are excited is that they saw some big contributions from the 2021 NFL draft class with Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith securing early starting roles. Nick Bolton earned plenty of playing time and later was recognized as the team’s Mack Lee Hill Award winner. Fans are used to seeing rookies make a big impact after last season. Which rookie will be most impactful for Kansas City during the 2022 NFL season, though?
You can make arguments for any number of players. Trent McDuffie could be the league’s next true shutdown corner. George Karlaftis could be a 10-sack player right out of the gate. Skyy Moore could make Chiefs fans forget all about the good times they had with Tyreek Hill on the squad. Bryan Cook could stand out in a transformed safety room, while Leo Chenal could round out the dynamic group of linebackers that K.C. already has. Even the Day 3 picks could find themselves contributing early on.
