Daniel Sorensen

Sorensen signed a free agent deal with the Kansas City Chiefs after playing in Provo from 2008, 2011-13. He started as a practice squad guy, then carved a role on special teams. Now he’s in the Chiefs’ defensive backfield rotation.

Many KC beat writers are calling Sorensen the most underrated player on the Chiefs roster. It’s not hard to see why. He’s making a huge impact for the Chiefs this season, but doesn’t steal many (if any) headlines. The third-year safety had a coming out party against the Saints, recording six tackles, one sack and a 48-yard pick six.

On the season he’s 68 total tackles, two forced fumbles and three interceptions. Sorensen and the Chiefs have a bye and will take on the winner of the Dolphins-Steelers.
