Jerry Tillery might be the sneakiest piece in Steve Spagnuolo’s puzzle

The Kansas City Chiefs signed defensive tackle Jerry Tillery back in March after losing Tershawn Wharton in free agency to the Carolina Panthers. At the time, it was viewed as a low-cost veteran replacement for Wharton, and after K.C. drafted Omarr Norman-Lott in the second round as a potential long-term answer, Tillery was largely forgotten.

However, after watching a couple of training camp practices last week, Chiefs fans may be overlooking what Tillery could bring to the defense this season.

Tillery was a first-round draft pick by the San Diego (now Los Angeles) Chargers back in 2019.
