Number 37, SS, Eric Berry.

Berry was my favorite pick of the Chiefs in the last 5 years. You can argue that he has been a bit over rated but, you cannot deny what he means to this Chiefs defense. PFF writes,

"“It’s not easy for a safety to go at No. 5 overall and justify the pick, but Berry is a man who has made that happen. His 2013 season wasn’t perfect but it was a highlight reel of what it takes to be a complete safety in the NFL. A rare athlete capable to play linebacker in dime packages, match up man-on-man with tight ends, and perform more traditional safety roles (whether in the box or not). Berry put forth a tremendous season that would earn him the highest grade of any strong safety in the regular season."

Best Performance: Week 12, SD @ KC, +3.6

Key Stat: It’s true that Berry led all defensive backs with 17 combined sacks, hits and hurries.”

Berry might’ve had his best season as a pro last year. He was all over the place in pass, and run, coverage and means a whole lot to this Chiefs defense. I really feel his game is going to elevate over the next three season’s, barring injury.
