Arrowheadlines: ‘Reliable contributor’ Rashad Fenton is potential breakout candidate

Rashad Fenton

Speaking of developmental success stories, Fenton is another example of a player with humble beginnings who has grown into a reliable contributor. The Chiefs selected Fenton in the sixth round (No. 201 overall) of the 2019 Draft, and in the time since, the former South Carolina standout has carved out a role as an effective member of Kansas City’s secondary.

He doesn’t see the field as often as some other members of the defense, but when called upon, Fenton has often delivered. In fact, according to Pro Football Focus, Fenton was the Chiefs’ top-graded cornerback in 2019 (minimum 100 snaps) and Kansas City’s second-best corner in 2020 behind only L’Jarius Sneed.
