Nick Bolton had a monster SuperBowl performance, but he became one of the Chiefs' most important defensive players even before that. ChiefsKingdom
deserves a ton of credit for his role leading the defense during the game and throughout this season.
Even dating back to his collegiate career at Missouri, Bolton always seemed destined to make a big impact on whichever team he played for as a MIKE linebacker. Not only did he have the leadership attributes that would make him a great captain of any defense, but his tackling and run-defending skills also stood out among his peers.
In 2022, Bolton really came into his own, outperforming himself in nearly every category from the year before. He became the full-time starting MIKE linebacker for the Chiefs’ defense this year, wearing the green dot on his helmet and the “C” patch on his jersey for the first time in his second season. Those definitive symbols of leadership could add extra pressure to players, especially a 22-year-old like Bolton, but he didn’t flinch.
Then, when the lights got brightest in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl LVII, Bolton not only stepped up but played the game of his life. His play recognition was on point all night, allowing him to finish the big game as its tackles leader with nine on the night and four that qualified as defensive stops: tackles short of the sticks on third down.
