Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach highlighted the team's excitement over the addition of defensive back Kristian Fulton, emphasizing the need for depth in the cornerback position. After losing key player L'Jarius Sneed last season and dealing with injuries to several other players, the Chiefs prioritized bolstering their secondary. Fulton, who started 15 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season, brings experience and talent. His track record includes 51 tackles and an interception, showcasing his capability behind the line.

Veach noted that Fulton was a player they coveted during the 2020 NFL Draft, indicating confidence in his abilities. The Chiefs' defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, has a reputation for utilizing a deep cornerback rotation, making Fulton a valuable asset for the upcoming season. With the potential for a strong secondary, the Chiefs aim to improve on last year's defensive performance.
