The recent defensive surge for the Kansas City Chiefs has featured impressive performances from the cornerback position. Charvarius Ward has excelled since returning from his quad injury, and Rashad Fenton has emerged as a reliable option. Yet, it’s second-year cornerback L’Jarius Sneed who seemingly makes the most significant impact from snap to snap.
A week after earning an interception against the Green Bay Packers, Sneed flew all over the field and made significant tackles against the Las Vegas Raiders. On Vegas’ first two possessions, Sneed made a third-down tackle short of the sticks to force a punt each time.
