Kansas City Chiefs: Seven most disappointing players in 2020 season

Most disappointing Kansas City Chiefs – No. 4: Frank Clark

Frank Clark had two big plays in Super Bowl LV and then was nowhere to be found the rest of the night. That’s become the constant with Clark during his two years with the Chiefs, but unfortunately for KC, they’re stuck with him for the time being (though there is a potential out on his contract after 2021).

Clark had six sacks during the regular season and there would be games where he was completely invisible. This was a common frustration with him in 2019 as well, but he was dealing with injuries and illnesses in the first part of the year. We saw that when he got healthy, he was a totally different player.

Clark notched three sacks in the playoffs, but as I mentioned earlier, after those plays, he’d disappear and we’d never see or hear from him again. Chiefs fans were skeptical about the Clark trade and extension when it happened and now we’re seeing those worries play out in front of our eyes.

Most disappointing Kansas City Chiefs – No. 3: Backup Tight Ends

So, this isn’t just one player, but I had to include the backup tight ends because of how irrelevant they were. Travis Kelce is the best tight end in football and the Chiefs definitely use that as a reason not to put any decent depth behind him. That has to stop this offseason.

By the end of the 2020 season, the backup tight ends — Nick Keizer, Ricky Seals-Jones, and Deon Yelder — had a total of 99 receiving yards between the three of them. Three players couldn’t even manage to get triple-digit yards with Patrick Mahomes throwing the football to them. I had high hopes for Seals-Jones and he didn’t catch a single pass.

The Chiefs have a lot of positions they need to upgrade this offseason, but finding a legitimate backup option for Kelce needs to be up there. Could you imagine what the offense would have looked like if he went down with an injury this past season with these three as his backups? Yikes.
