Kansas City Chiefs: Mid Season Gradecards
By Chris Taylor
Special Teams: B+
Tyreek Hill is elite, punt him the ball and watch him prove it. He absolutely changes the game. The one thing that doesn’t allow an A here, he isn’t returning kickoffs. Thomas and Akeem Hunt have shared the job this season, and neither takes your breath away.
Cairo Santos has been very good for the Chiefs, and when he went down for the season there was great concern. That concern was kicked to the side with the signing of Harrison Butker. Much like Kareem Hunt, he squandered his first attempt as a Chief, but he’s been perfect ever since. Butker has made 19 field goals in a row and is one of the great storylines this season.

Butker’s holder, Dustin Colquitt can punt the ball as well, and far. He has been a fan favorite at the stadium, and can usually be counted on to pin the opponent deep.
Dave Toub has done a pretty good job with this group, they can easily get an A at any time.
