They’re baaaack: Chiefs re-sign veterans to mentor younger players

When Jordan Lucas was suddenly called into action against Jacksonville two weeks ago, the safety hadn’t taken a single defensive snap as a Chief.

Being thrown into the middle of a game with less than six weeks of learning Bob Sutton’s system could be daunting.

But playing alongside veteran safety Ron Parker, who has thousands of snaps with the Chiefs under his belt, made the chaotic situation much easier.

“My role is to give back to the younger guys and give all the knowledge that I know to help them play in the defense, to help them get better as a player,” Parker said.
