5 Chiefs land on PFF’s top-50 players in 2020

The Kansas City Chiefs have more players on PFF’s list than any other NFL team.

Chris Jones is another player looking to be the most destructive non-Aaron Donald interior pass-rusher in football. Over the past two seasons, only Donald and Cox have more total pressures among interior players than Jones, who has racked up 132 pressures and has the second-best PFF pass-rushing grade in the league, trailing only Donald among players at any position. Jones has shown, when healthy, he has the ability to take over and dominate games, as he was a big part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory with multiple key plays.

Jones has perhaps been the most important non-Mahomes player on the Chiefs over the past several seasons. He’s nearly unblockable on the defensive interior. His disruption and batted passes during Super Bowl LIV were as important as any of the key plays you might recall in the game. I wonder if Jones’ contract situation won’t have an impact on his performance again in 2020. Without a long-term deal in place, he could be once again looking to prove himself and not to Kansas City, but auditioning for another team in the league.
