Much of the Chiefs’ ability to dictate matchups rests with the second-year defensive back. Plus, the Patrick Mahomes–Xavier Worthy connection is looking good.
The easy thing would be to write about Patrick Mahomes, his new weapons and how the Kansas City Chiefs, if healthy, are a terrific bet to three-peat.
“I think special teams helped me a lot early , just being able to get on the field,” Conner says. “Compete against guys, go against guys. I feel like that helped me a lot. … I think I’m way ahead of where I was this time last year on defense. I’m way ahead of where I was knowing the playbook and having the experience.”
“It’s something I’ve been doing for a long time,” Conner says. “Since high school, I’ve been playing safety and nickel. I’m very confident doing both. In college I did both. It feels great to come to the next level and still do the same.” But if coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and defensive backs coach Dave Merritt build on their sterling track records, Conner could be the next in a long line of Kansas City secondary personnel to go from question mark to well-known in short order.Mahomes is developing a connection with Worthy. / Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
