Because unlike Bolton, Chenal has the athletic upside to make a much bigger impact on passing downs, whether that be in coverage, rushing/blitzing, or both.

God damn you're clueless.

The rumor from camp was that Chenal was supposed to learn Bolton's position, so he could spell Nick (and maybe eventually takeover?) Chenal has more athleticism, obviously, but came into the draft with no real coverage experience.

right now, he's basically just a run-stuffing/blitzing LB.

NFL tackle leaders:

1. Nick Bolton - 180 (KC)

2. Foyesade Oluokun - 171 (JAX)

The record tackle had a facemask . That's hilarious.

I love you Pat, but Big Dick Nick could've been the MVP (with that 2nd tuddy).

I am legitimately happy this guy got a moment in the Super Bowl (should have been 2).

Dude isn't perfect, but I am damned happy he's a Chief. I really enjoy watching him play.

Also it takes a lot of awareness to bail on the tackle and go get the ball. Really happy this guy gets some shine.

Bolton is a stud

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!!!

my favorite player on my favorite football team

He was honestly robbed of a SB MVP.

He got robbed on what would've been his second TD!! Amazing LB, thank you!!

As a Mizzou fan I’m obviously biased but man it’s fun to watch a guy I was in love with in college play great on the biggest stage. Dude just has a nose for the football.
