Chiefs' Travis Kelce praises Broncos' 'White corner' after dramatic win

LeSean McCoy explains why an undefeated season could harm Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

After playing the Denver Broncos Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce noted something unusual about the Broncos' cornerbacks.

"Who would’ve thought one of the best defenses in the league got a white corner?" Kelce said during a recent episode of "New Heights."

Kelce was referring to Riley Moss, who is in his second season with the Broncos after being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Iowa.

Moss, 24, became the first White cornerback to start in a game since 2002, when Jason Sehorn last did it for the New York Giants.

Moss has been a key part of a stout Broncos defense that is surrendering the fourth fewest points per game (17.7) in the league. 

Moss appeared in 14 games as a rookie last season but didn’t start any. This season, Moss has started every game, recording 43 solo tackles with five passes defended and one interception. 

Travis’ brother and podcast co-host, Jason Kelce, asked if Moss was a true outside cornerback and not a safety positioned as a cornerback in a certain defensive package.

"Yeah, 21 (Moss' jersey number), starter. He hides it though. He wears long sleeves. He hides it, and I think he wears the turtleneck too," Travis responded.
