Ex-Cowboys draft pick is making some noise at training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs finished the 2023 season with a top-three defense in the league. They were that good - the best unit on that side of the ball the Chiefs have had in the Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid era. And, that unit could only get better.

The Chiefs have added some great talent on that side of the ball through the draft and free agency. Of course, everyone will be talking about the rookies, as Jaden Hicks and others continue to be a bright spot for the class. And, that's fine - there's another guy who is somewhat flying under the radar, though.

The defense is full of guys who haven't quite gotten their national love or flowers. One of them is a former Dallas Cowboys draft pick who has now made his way to the Chiefs. And, he's catching people's eyes. So much so that he is in the running for the CB2 spot everyone is vying for.

"He's playing catch-up now, getting work with the ones," defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said on Monday of DB Kelvin Joseph. "Made a couple of plays yesterday, he earned that. He's going to be right in the thick of things with the other CBs. He's made enough plays to warrant being with that first group."

There was a viral play where Xavier Worthy made a crazy contested catch on Sunday over the middle of the field and into the back of the end zone. That catch was on Joseph, and that's not a bad thing. Actually, that defense that Joseph played was some of the best defense you will see. There was quite literally nothing else he could do on that play.

But, Joseph has made plenty of other big plays and is raising some eyebrows in the coaching staff. And the best part is, he is such a Chiefs signing. he's a guy who needs to prove himself and has a lot of potential. he's coming in and making his case.
