After an offseason of great roster turnover, the Kansas City Chiefs will need to find new options to return kicks and punts. Having lost wide receiver Byron Pringle to the Chicago Bears and cornerback Mike Hughes to the Detroit Lions, receiver Mecole Hardman is the only in-house option with experience in the return game. However, Hardman may be called to fill a more prominent role on offense after the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
The Chiefs will likely use a draft pick on a player who can immediately help special teams coordinator Dave Toub on return units.
