Heading into the 2018 season, the Kansas City Chiefs cornerback group looked to be one of the areas of dire need. After ten games, it seems that many of us, including myself, were wrong about the strength of that unit. The cornerbacks have played surprisingly well through 10 games, and have only gotten better as the season has progressed.
One of those cornerbacks is fourth-year corner Steven Nelson, a third-round pick from the 2015 draft. He’s quietly had a career season so far, and even Pro Football Focus recognized him after the game against the Cleveland Browns game as one of their NFL Secret Superstars from Week 9.
