Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Mike Catapano has said that he is targeting a first-team breakthrough this season.

The 24-year-old was not involved in a single snap last season but has been working with the first-team defence during training.

He told reporters: "I'm ready to show that I offer a lot to this team. I'm ready to step up in big situations and starting situations. I just want to keep getting better every day and play to the best of my abilities."

Catapano joined the team in 2013.
