Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has made his latest trade for a former first-round pick. Former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mike Hughes will become the newest member of the Chiefs’ secondary after it was reported Thursday evening that he would be heading to Kansas City.
At 5’10 and 189 pounds, Hughes doesn’t fit the physique that Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo usually looks for in his outside cornerbacks. He played plenty on the boundary with the Vikings, but he has also been aligned in the slot for 29% of his career defensive snaps.
