Trent McDuffie remains the Kansas City Chiefs' top cornerback heading into the 2025 season, according to defensive backs coach Dave Merritt. McDuffie, an All-Pro selection, is expected to continue in his primary outside position, though there is potential for him to be utilized in a more versatile role as the season progresses.

The Chiefs bolstered their secondary this offseason by adding Kristian Fulton and rookie Nohl Williams. With the likes of Jaylen Watson and Nazeeh Johnson returning, the competition at cornerback is intensifying. McDuffie's ability to adapt to different positions could be a key factor in how the Chiefs approach their defensive schemes this year.
