Chiefs acquire cornerback Kenneth Acker from San Francisco for draft pick

CHICAGO

The Chiefs added to their glut of young cornerbacks on Saturday, as they acquired second-year pro Kenneth Acker from San Francisco for a draft pick.

Dorsey and the Chiefs, per team policy, declined to disclose the nature of the pick, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported it is a seventh-round pick in 2018.

Acker, 24, was a sixth-round pick of the 49ers in 2014 and is listed at 6 feet and 194 pounds. He started 13 games for the 49ers last season – primarily as an outside corner general manager John Dorsey said – while recording 65 tackles, eight pass deflections and three interceptions.
