Chiefs *****The L'Jarius Sneed Thread***** - Page 11

I saw a group of fans going in all wearing his jersey. Probably his family members. They must have been proud for his first NFL game.

4th round pick who can start day one at CB? If he’s up to the task, that’s a hell of a pickup.

He was up to the task.

Absolutely love this kid. How in the world did he last that long in the draft?

I think because he moved to safety his SR year and he’s really more of a corner

Going off by memory, he switched to safety position.

World. Class. Sneed.

“Sneed, though, did make the interception, and he returned the ball 39 yards to the Texans’ 17-yard line. He even displayed his elite speed, reaching 21.38 mph on the play, making him the fastest ball carrier in the game, according to Next Gen Stats.”

First Chiefs rookie CB to start Week 1 since Peters in 2015, who also had a pick.

Has a little Brandon Carr in him. Maybe even a little better.

He's an elite athlete for sure. Which at CB, is great.

Dont' wanna jump to any conclusions, but damn the guy looked really good last week. Just polished and vet like out there. With those measurables, if he can play that way, dang.

Good comp but Sneed is more athletic. Ran a 4.37 combine 40. Carr ran a pro day 4.43.

And 6" better on the vert and broad jump.

Sneed said the game speed felt slow compared to facing the Chiefs' Wrs during training camp. He prefers to play cornerback going forward even though he played quite a bit of safety in college.

Makes me wonder how far his absence put Keyes behind. He had covid or somesuch.

I didn't really watch Sneed real closely during the game, but from the little I saw he's a tremendous athlete, with serious speed. Also liked that he wasn't afraid to tangle with his assignments. Here's hoping he keeps making big strides this season.

According to NFL.com, Sneed hit the 2nd highest speed recorded this week in the NFL, only behind Raheem Mostert.

The Smee kid was impressive. As is Veach.
