Chiefs' UDFA Safety Devon Key scored a 9.02 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 75 out of 757 SS from 1987 to 2021. https://t.co/Mvm0BculYs#RAS via @Mathbomb
Judging by pics, he’s even getting reps with the starters. When that happens this early for an UDFA, it’s a good indicator that they have a very good shit of making the 53 man roster and having an impact.
From scouting reports, he sounds like a LB/S hybrid with great speed and above average athleticism.
Could be Sorenson’s replacement after this year. Definitely a guy to keep our eye on in TC and the preseason. [Reply]
There won't be any phantom IRs before Sept. 1 because they have to be on the final 53 man roster if you want to bring them back during the season. I hate to put him out there on waivers, but it's him or Watts. I hate to put Buechele and a couple others out there too, but who do you sacrifice to keep them? Long is a different story since his on PUP, but I really don't think that will ever come to fruition. [Reply]
Key will probably clear waivers just fine and go on the practice squad. He's got promise, but I don't think that he put anything on tape in the games to make anyone think that he's worth a spot on their 53 man roster. [Reply]
After seeing some of our more veteran defensive players repeatedly blow assignments this season, maybe this dude's horrible preseason can be more easily forgiven with some of the blame falling on our coaching staff. Something with our scheme has been screwy this year in coverage, especially in the early games. [Reply]
