Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Kansas City Chiefs to worry about in 2021

Mike Hughes, Cornerback

Staying on the defensive side of the ball, the Chiefs pulled off a major move to improve their defense, bringing in former first-round pick, Mike Hughes. After a tough start to his career in Minnesota, Hughes will be looking to reinvent himself with the Chiefs, and all early indications are that he is doing just that this offseason.

Hughes has gotten great praise from his teammates, including Tyrann Mathieu, which is big considering how good a player the Honey Badger is. If Hughes can play like a first-round talent, then the Chiefs have taken care of one of the holes on their defense, making this one of the better all-around defensive backfields in the AFC.

Kansas City is going to be a force this season, and as is the case every year, the division is going to run through them. Sure, they added other talents, like Joe Thuney, but these three guys really stand out as players who could cause some major headaches for the Raiders in their first season with the hated Chiefs.
