That 51.9% reception rate ranks eighth in the NFL among CBs that have played a minimum 50% of coverage snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the seven cornerbacks that rank above him, five of them play in the AFC, but two pairs of two start for the same team. Those CBs are Cleveland Browns starters Denzel Ward and nickel Martin Emerson Jr., as well as Pittsburgh Steelers starters Joey Porter Jr. and Patrick Peterson.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Ravens star Marlon Humphrey also has a slightly better reception rate allowed.<\/p>\n<p>When you consider that some of these players typically match up against the opposition\u2019s best wide receivers, while others do not, Sneed\u2019s top competition for an All-Pro award would probably be Humphrey, Ward and Porter. The latter has been spectacular during his rookie campaign with the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>Out of those four No. 1 corners in the AFC, Sneed has the top passer rating against (55.9) according to PFF, followed by Humphrey and Porter. Those two competitors have also allowed one touchdown each, while Ward has surrendered three TDs on the year and of course, Sneed has been perfect in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Humphrey and Sneed also rank tied for top three in the NFL in forced incompletions per target. The biggest knock against the Chiefs shutdown specialist is that he\u2019s been penalized a league-leading 17 times this season for all CBs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo Comments on Defensive Pro Bowl Snubs<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Chiefs only had one member of the defense voted to the Pro Bowl games in Winter of 2024, superstar Chris Jones. Considering the KC defense has been the driving force all season, veteran DC Steve Spagnuolo was asked if that was a \u201cdisappointing\u201d reality on January 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t say I was disappointed,\u201d Spagnuolo responded during his Week 18 press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know how I feel about those guys,\u201d he said about Sneed and fellow CB Trent McDuffie, in particular. \u201cIt is what it is. Again, because I know those guys, they\u2019re more concerned with the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yeah, disappointed is a pretty good word,\u201d the Chiefs DC concluded.<\/p>\n<p>McDuffie has a case for an All-Pro too, although he\u2019s excelled in different areas. The second-year CB has played more of a clean game than Sneed, which has translated to a better coverage grade on PFF (78.3 compared to a 71.9). McDuffie\u2019s also been utilized as more of an impact pass rusher when guarding the slot this season, a role Sneed excelled at last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 NFL Pro Bowl roster was revealed on January 3 and the biggest Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 snub was probably cornerback L\u2019Jarius Sneed.
