Prior to each season, Pro Football Focus ranks the rosters of every NFL team from 1 to 32. Entering the 2018 season one year ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were ranked 13th.
This year, the Chiefs have risen six positions to seventh place.
Here’s what PFF had to say about the Chiefs this year, via ESPN In$ider:
Biggest strength: While Chris Jones anchors the defensive line, the Chiefs’ clear strength will be quarterback Patrick Mahomes. No quarterback came close to the kind of success Mahomes had on the deep ball in 2018, racking up 1,514 deep passing yards, over 350 more than the next-closest QB.
