Kansas City Chiefs DL discusses the potential of playing alongside Chris Jones
The Kansas City Chiefs added another veteran presence on the defensive line with the signing of Jerry Tillery during free agency.
Tillery joins a Chiefs unit led by coordinator Steve Spagnuolo that continues to rely on the consistency of their defensive line. He discussed his fit alongside All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones during Thursday's introductory press conference with reporters on Zoom.
"Chris Jones is an incredible player and someone who I am excited to play with. I've watched him over the years as well as somebody at the top of our game who's doing it the best," said Tillery. "To watch this guy work and to be with him, I think that type of player is somebody who can raise everybody's level. Chris Jones is a great guy, so I'm excited to get to know him better and even more excited to play with him."
Tillery played last season with the Minnesota Vikings, making 11 starts and tallying 28 combined tackles, including one for loss. Tillery was a first-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2019 NFL draft. He played for the Chargers from 2019 until 2022, followed by a stint with the Las Vegas Raiders.
