Justin Reid says Chiefs want him to ‘command the back end’

During the three years that safety Tyrann Mathieu was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, there was never any question that he was the leader of the team’s defensive secondary — if not the entire defensive unit.

But now that Mathieu has moved on to the New Orleans Saints, it’s becoming more and more clear that former Houston Texans safety Justin Reid intends to fulfill that role in the Kansas City defense.
