ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — With the departure of Sean Smith, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to second-year cornerback Marcus Peters as he steps into the role of the team’s No.1 cornerback. Peters had a breakout rookie season with eight interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns, and accolades included a trip to the Pro Bowl and being honored as The Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Just three days into camp, players and coaches believe Peters is just getting started Coach Andy Reid has seen his share of top corners, from Brian Dawkins to Troy Vincent and says he believes Peters can create his own legacy.
