The Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive secondary will look to rebound after their disappointing performance in Super Bowl LIX, and veteran cornerback Trent McDuffie figures to be a major part of the unit’s strategy this season.

McDuffie, a former University of Washington Husky and first-round pick, has developed into a lockdown defender during his first three seasons in Kansas City and put his ball-hawking prowess on display at Chiefs Training Camp this week.

When star quarterback Patrick Mahomes targeted one of his receivers at practice on Friday, July 25, McDuffie stepped in to pick off the two-time MVP and proceeded to evade his teammates in a mock interception return.

Take a look at this video of McDuffie’s outstanding play, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

McDuffie recorded the first two interceptions of his career in 2024 and should be able to accumulate more this season as defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo looks to reinvent his secondary in the wake of Super Bowl LIX.
