The rookie I am going to be showcasing this week is Javier Arenas.
Javier Arenas came to the Chiefs from the University of Alabama. During his time in Alabama, he was a very versatile player. He played defensive back and also returned kicks for the Crimson Tide.
Arenas started 13 games in 2009 and also finished second on the team in tackles with 71. He also had five interceptions which led the team. On the other end, he accumulated 1,069 all purpose yards that include 551 yards in kickoff returns and 493 yards in punt returns.
Javier also was a crucial player in the BCS Championship game when he had two interceptions against the Texas Longhorns to lead the Crimson Tide to a National Championship in 2009.
With his impressive career at Alabama, he was selected in the 2nd round to Kansas City. Since he has been with the Chiefs, he is a key player on defense and also on special teams as a punt and kick returner.
So far during his rookie season, his stats are 33 tackles, 509 yards on kick return, and 223 yards on punt return.
This week he is going to be a key player to get the Chiefs good field position and to step in for a secondary that got it handed to them a couple weeks ago.
