Under the Radar: The Chiefs’ newest linebacker makes his presence felt

On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs secured their first victory of the season: a 17-9 road win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the Chiefs’ offense still appears to be finding its rhythm, it did enough to secure the win. However, it was the defense that truly shined — especially with the return of All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones.

In every game, regardless of the outcome, there are unsung heroes who quietly excel, making crucial contributions that often escape the limelight. These players operate under the radar. One such player who deserves recognition for their outstanding Week 2 performance is linebacker Drue Tranquill, who joined Kansas City during the offseason.
