Kansas City: DB Husain Abdullah

A backup safety in 2013, Abdullah was a force against the run and pass and actually excelled as a pass-rusher. In the playoff game against Indianapolis, he held Colts receivers to only three catches for 38 yards while nabbing two third-quarter picks. Abdullah is slated to start in 2014 opposite Eric Berry.
