Following the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed rookie defensive back Jacobe Covington, who previously played for both the Washington Huskies and the USC Trojans. Over five seasons, Covington participated in 42 games, recording one interception, one sack, one forced fumble, and 65 tackles. While it may be challenging for him to secure a spot on the Chiefs' 53-man roster as a rookie, he could be a valuable addition to the team's practice squad.

Covington wears the No. 40 jersey and is expected to earn a base salary of $840,000 in 2025 under his contract, which runs through 2027 and totals $2,965,000. His collegiate experience and performance could make him a player to watch as he develops in the Chiefs' system.
