Virginia Tech Tackling Machine Turned Chiefs NFL Starter
Chamarri Conner, a 6'0" ballhawk DB from Virginia Tech, dominated college with 311 career tackles (10th all-time at VT), 81 in 2022 alone plus 2 INTs, earning 2020 All-ACC honors before his 2023 NFL Draft as a 4th-round Chief[1][2]. Now a starting safety in 2025 with 75 solo tackles (9th in NFL), his high-motor intensity, playmaking instincts, and versatility from CB to safety make him a lockdown defender who forces turnovers—perfect for teams needing gritty, reliable secondary depth without injury red flags[2][3].
