Episode Details

Chris Jones is embracing his 11th NFL season with renewed optimism, seeing the influx of young talent on the Chiefs’ defense as a chance to turn things around after last year’s disappointing six-win campaign. At 32, he’s shifting focus to passing downs, letting rookies handle early-down duties while mentoring them with his veteran savvy. He’s still chasing that elusive touchdown — eight years in the league and counting — joking that offensive players get “salty” when he scores, but he’s earned his shot. With the Chiefs’ 2022 draft class delivering big results, Jones believes this year’s rookies can make similar impacts, especially in critical areas like third downs and turnovers. His goal? Help the team make the playoffs — and maybe, just maybe, catch a pass for a score himself.
