L’Jarius Sneed proved time and again that he’d been a pivotal part of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City team decided to trade him to the Tennessee Titans, where Sneed is set to make $76.4 million over four years, with $55 million guaranteed. The CB out of Louisiana Tech became a free agent this year itself and his absence has created an available position for a cornerback in the Chiefs.

Which of these CBs will fit the Kansas City Chiefs and Steve Spagnuolo’s bill?

Matt McCullen, senior reporter for the team had an interesting take on the CBs who will take part in the upcoming draft. Clemson’s Nate Wiggins, Alabama’s Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry, and Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr. were some of the names that appeared in the conversation.

The host of the video pointed out how Wiggins had been doing wonders for Clemson University. At 6′ 2″, 185lbs the Tigers’ CB had an insane 4.28 second 40-yard time at the combine. Moreover, Wiggins had 22 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, and 6 passes defended in the 2023 season. Not to mention one touchdown. “He has a great motor, excellent recovery speed,” said the host.
