L’Jarius Sneed’s 2023 campaign with the Kansas City Chiefs has been a masterclass in keeping opposing wide receivers in check. The former Louisiana Tech Bulldog hasn’t allowed a touchdown all season and seems to play his best coverage when lined up against opponents’ top receivers.
He continued his run of dominance against the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night, imposing his will on All-Pro pass catcher Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs posted a video of Sneed’s gritty effort against Hill at the line of scrimmage on Monday, highlighting just how physical their top defensive back is willing to play against elite offensive talent.

Plays like this are sure to add to the mythmaking around Sneed ahead of Kansas City’s next playoff tilt this week. While the Chiefs don’t know exactly who their opponent in the Divisional round will be, Kansas City can count on Sneed’s tenacity in the secondary to help the team secure yet another postseason victory.
