The Kansas City Chiefs need these five players to step up in 2016 if they want to reach their first Super Bowl since 1970.

Watching the KC Chiefs earn an 11-5 record and win a playoff game last year was pretty special, but similar results this year simply won’t do for a fanbase that’s waited a LOOONG time for a championship.

Dee Ford tops the list of players with the most to prove due to his light resumé so far. The good news with Ford is that he’s still young and can most certainly turn it around this season.

The second player on this list is De’Anthony Thomas. Injuries have derailed Thomas’ young career so far, but he’s blazing fast and has the ability to make incredible plays on special teams.

The rest of the list consists of Knile Davis, Justin Houston, and Marcus Peters. Davis needs to work on his fumbling issues, Houston needs to work on staying healthy, and Peters needs to make sure he doesn’t face a sophomore slump.

It’s absolutely crucial that these five Chiefs step it up in 2016 in order to help their team advance to the big game in February.

What do you think, Chiefs Kingdom? Did I leave anyone off this list?
