The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season with an eye on the future, particularly at the safety position. With both of their starting safeties currently on rookie contracts, the team is looking to strengthen this crucial defensive spot ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Justin Reid's impending departure leaves the Chiefs needing to assess their options for replacements. Bryan Cook, who has been a two-year starter, alongside Jaden Hicks and Chamarri Conner, is part of a young safety core that could evolve with the right additions.

One highly regarded prospect is USC's Kamari Ramsey, who has returned for another season after showing second-round potential in 2024. His development could be pivotal in the upcoming draft, where the Chiefs will seek to bolster their secondary with new talent to ensure continued success on defense.
