Chiefs highlight Nohl Williams, Alohi Gilman, and Cyrus Allen as key players

Summary

Kansas City Chiefs are looking for a resurgence in 2026 following a disappointing 2025 season, where they finished 6-11. Three players have been identified as Hidden Gems who could contribute significantly: cornerback Nohl Williams, safety Alohi Gilman, and wide receiver Cyrus Allen. Williams, a 2025 third-round pick, is noted for his effective play in press coverage. Gilman, an underrated free agent, brings valuable experience to the defensive backfield. Allen has shown promise in the preseason as a receiver. The Chiefs aim to build a new competitive team as they seek to return to their former championship form.
