In order for the K.C. Chiefs defensive line to reach its true potential, the team needed to see something significant from Khalen Saunders. According to defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the defensive tackle is making the sort of leap the team’s coaches have been hoping for in training camp.
Saunders is a very intriguing prospect who, even after two years at the pro level, has yet to turn the proverbial corner.
