Chiefs Have Some Crazy Names in Their Secondary Room After 2020 NFL Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs spent their past weekend bolstering up their roster to build off their Super Bowl LIV victory. General manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid spent two of their six NFL Draft selections on cornerbacks due to the loss of Kendall Fuller to free agency, and not only are they interesting players, but they go by some fascinating names that are a bit off the beaten path.

On Day 3 of the big event, the Chiefs selected Louisiana Tech cornerback L'Jarius Sneed in the fourth round and Tulane's Thakarius Keyes in the seventh. Both players will now join Charvarius Ward in Kansas City's secondary room, which is now the most brilliantly unique secondary room in the NFL.

Somewhere, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are salivating. We sure the Chiefs didn't select these guys just for the meme material? Ah, of course not! These kids are qualified, talented players who can make an impact in Kansas City. It's hard to imagine a better situation to be walking into.

Sneed is a versatile defensive back who can play both the corner and safety positions, which gives defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo some flexibility. In four seasons at Louisiana Tech, Sneed recorded 177 tackles, 19 passes defensed, eight interceptions, and three sacks.

The Chiefs actually traded up in the seventh round to secure the services of "BoPete" Keyes, a tall corner that has the arm length to create havoc in press coverage. In four seasons at Tulane, Keyes recorded 95 tackles, 15 passes defensed, and two interceptions.

Just because the Chiefs secondary room is filled with intriguing names, they're not to be taken lightly. It's just a nice bonus on top of it all.
