And of all of the players on the Chiefs' roster, the one who stands for the greatest reputation change is Chamarri Conner. Conner enters the '26 season as a fourth-year defensive back ready to hit the open market next spring. When allowed to stay within the comforts of his skill set at safety, Conner is an above-average safety who is a physically disruptive presence with strong read-and-react instincts. In 2024, Conner allowed a 98.4 passer rating for opposing quarterbacks and 9.6 yards/reception with an 85.5 percent reception rate (59 of 69 targets). Those numbers are not good, but things looked even worse last year, when Conner allowed a 114.6 passer rating and 11.5 yards/reception.
