Kenny Chicoine still pops as a ball-hawking Cal Poly safety
Kenny Chicoine’s calling card is takeaway production and opportunistic playmaking: in the 2005 season, he earned defensive player of the week honors after a 59-yard pick-six, and earlier in his Cal Poly career he was among the nation’s leaders with seven interceptions in the prior season. He’s the kind of safety coaches trust because he consistently finds the football, flashes range, and brings a competitive edge that shows up in big moments. If you want a defender who can tilt games with turnovers and stabilize the back end, Chicoine is exactly that kind of fit.
