Solid on SNF Bolton posted nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Ravens.
Impact A second-round pick out of Missouri, Bolton has impressed through his first two NFL games with 16 tackles (12 solo). His role could eventually decrease if Willie Gay (toe) returns from injured reserve in Week 4, but there's a chance Bolton has the talent to retain the job outright.

Seven stops in debut Bolton recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 33-29 win over the Browns.
Impact A rookie second-round pick, Bolton tied cornerback L'Jarius Sneed and Juan Thornhill for the team lead in tackles during his NFL debut. The 21-year-old is expected to maintain the starting job this season, which means he should have some IDP upside, though teams don't run the ball frequently against the Chiefs.

Going to defending AFC champs The Chiefs selected Bolton in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 58th overall.
Impact The Chiefs have needed to improve their linebacker personnel for years, and Bolton joins 2020 second-round pick Willie Gay to give the team two potential long-term starters at the position. Bolton (5-foot-11, 237 pounds) didn't lead an especially strong run defense at Missouri, but he piled up tackles at a high rate and showed good speed with a 4.6-second 40-yard dash. Gay is the more toolsy of the two linebacker prospects, but Bolton arrives with more polish than Gay did a year ago.
