ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – With the departure of Sean Smith to Oakland in March, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to second-year player Marcus Peters as he steps into the role of the team’s No.1 cornerback.
Peters, a former Washington Husky, had a breakout rookie season with eight interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns, and accolades included a trip to the Pro Bowl and being honored as AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Teammates and coaches seem to believe Peters is just getting started.
“I never looked at him as a rookie,” safety Ron Parker said.
