Verderame on his latest pod said he was told my his Chiefs source that they loved what they were seeing from Felix during camp and knew then that he wasn’t going to play a ton due to being behind George/Omenihu/Danna this year

I’m buying all the FAU stock I can get right now. I think he’s a 8-12 sack guy by 2025.

I really hope he and George are working with Tamba this offseason.

I hope so. The last player I loved pre-draft that the Chiefs took was Creed Humphrey. I was pounding the table for Felix pre-draft but it was frustrating having a 1st round pick not on the field.

I firmly believe Danna kept FAU on the bench by playing the best season of his career. It's a good problem to have.

Yeah - Danna is very clearly the replacement for Danna next year and I think that was always the plan.

The problem is that suddenly we need a replacement for Omenihu and I'm not certain FAU will be up for that just yet.

Yea, good point. I think there's a veteran one year deal type of signing at DE.

Seth Keysor liked him because he said FAU had multiple pass rush moves and could string them together more than most DE prospects.

Isn't great at turning the corner on the edge, but can do it better than Karlaftis (who uses leverage and a non-stop motor to threaten the edge).

To me, its obvious he just had guys ahead of him playing effectively so he never saw the field for a SB contender.

Ogbahs getting cut.

Should be some good value guys there

Exactly the kind of move we should make. We know he's a great scheme fit, and his role would be similar to Omenihu.

They should bring him back

We heard little bits of this throughout the year. He started a little behind, but what really kept him off the field were the pros in front of him. He'll be raring to go come August.

Getting beatin out by Dana makes me think he doesn't have much potential. Dana is a solid backup himself.

:facepalm:

Really excited that FAU gets Cullen to shape him early in his career.

I really wonder how good some previous DL would’ve been with that same opportunity.

Hog’s Gone Trollin

Good God people are dumb, a rookie not being able to breakthrough onto an elite defensive unit must be a bust. Bet you said the same about Mahomes?

FAU was clearly brought in for 2024 and beyond knowing Danna and others were leaving.

The knock on FAU, as we all know, is that you expect more first year production from a first round pick. And I get that. But, in addition to the quality of players in front of him, we also need to take into account where he was taken. At the end of the first round. The blue chip pass rushers that you would have expected a lot of production from were already gone. I guess that we could have traded down and taken him later if he was still available. Maybe there wouldn't be the same criticism if he was a second round pick? I'm anxious to see how he does this year. If he doesn't improve, then I guess that the criticism was right. But I don't think that I'm prepared to make a judgement either way yet

I hope the kid puts on some muscle this offseason and works on that first step. We need to see what we got.

On a side note, I was thinking this year, if I had Tyreek, I'd put him in as an edge rusher on a special occasion. Nobody has a burst like Tyreek. He'd be good for 10 sacks easy.

How do we feel about this dude being a starter next year?

TH4DE!!!!!

He was about the same player George was his first year except George played way more as a rookie.

Won't be a problem next year. It's nothing to frown about either. Danna is a solid players.

LMAO

Just lining him up at wide DE would **** up an offense. Probably a guaranteed timeout.

Seriously, what LT or RT in the world could get to Tyreek to block him?

They would just audible and run right at him

You think Tyreek is taking down Josh Allen?

That's the kind of outside of the box thinking that the NFL has been missing for a while now!

I could see a guy like Leo Chenel coming in at full back and just wrecking some shit

You know he’s got the mentality for it

violence and physicality

He's the best pure pass rusher from DE on the team. Unfortunately for him, his jump is among the worst in the league. Hopefully, it's correctable.

He broke the leg of the last person he hit. She went down hard.

Basically EVERY LT or RT will block him. Is this a serious post? FFS.

Talk about being ignored lol

LMAO

I can still start threads

I was getting nervous. Hadn’t heard anything about him this far. First day of pads and we get a few good updates.

Man there are a lot of weird attitudes about this kid.

So many posters are nearly hoping for him to be a bust. Really strange.

Dude went to my high school. He's actually worn the same football uniform that I used to wear. (That's all our football careers had in common.) Now he's a first round pick for the Chiefs. I couldn't be rooting harder for him.

Felix had 3 things going against him last year:

1. Age - he was just 21

2. Injury set him back before the season started

3. The people in front of him were were pretty damn talented.

FAU is going to be a much different player this year. Should be a lot of fun to watch the growth.

I thought he looked pretty good in that clip I saw in 1 on 1 drills against Wayna Morris. It could just mean Morris isn't looking good though.

K-State? People were ****in weird about Bolton cause of the MU shit. It was dumb but CPers have never been one to shy away from biases like that.

Reminds me a lot of Dee Ford minus the whole back issue stuff. He just needs refinement and time. I could see him breaking out for 7-8 sacks this year but he could turn into a 10+ sack guy in 2025 IMO

Maybe. I feel like MU fans are usually the loudest about how much their QBs suck and don't belong in the NFL though.

You guys are over estimating this POS. Did you see his press conference. He looks like he quit lifting any type of weights and spent the offseason drinking Old Milwauke

:facepalm:

He literally spent the offseason working with Karlaftis and Tamba dipshit.

I get what Hog is doing, but why FAU? There are a ton of other fan favorite players on the team who would have more impact if he impishly went after them.

Tamba loves Old Milwauke too and they should have lifted some weights other than 16 ozers

Come up with all the excuses you want but a 1st round DE with 0.5 sacks is telling!

Honestly I keep forgetting he is on the team. Definitely rooting for him, though. I hope he turns into the kind of DE that would make Gaz proud!

Hog farmer has lost his burst. Probably needs piggy porn to even get a hog off these days.

tbh the first thing I said about him was he needs to get in that weight room. I still have hopes that he can be a solid rotational guy. He looks quick at least, hopefully that makes up for the lack of muscle mass.

I don't think they were rooting against him as much as they were rooting for their own prediction that he would be a bust.


Nobody cares enough about K-State for it to be a rivalry thing

I give him a lot of crap but I sincerely hopes he becomes the next Derrick Thomas, he plays for the team I've loved since I was 5 years old and I want nothing but the best for the Chiefs.

Agreed, it’s definitely not a rivalry when you lose 15 straight in FB to K-State…

There’s always one of those “look at me” types in these threads.

Yeah that's what I'm doing lol


Nobody cares he went to K-State you weirdos

Shut the **** up. You’re PGM without the “lulz”

I’m betting Kiimo has a little FAU doll that he sticks pins in at night as he repeats softly “it’s not a rivalry, it’s not a rivalry, it’s not a rivalry...” :)

I don't know who that is

or who you are


but gfy have a happy morning full of antifreeze


edit: nothing makes K-State fans angrier than "we don't care"

Hey that’s great.

Edit: nothing upsets KU folks more than not being validated.

“The new stadium might be at Legends!! Think of how close that will be to Lawrence”!!

lmao

Don’t be so angry!

Anyway, FAU will be fine. Or, he won’t.

Here’s the God’s honest truth. We know you care. That’s what makes your denial so laughably delicious. And honestly, I do agree with you. It’s not a rivalry when you haven’t beaten your opponent in over 15 years.

Now, back to FAU breaking out in 2024 and being a stud.

Y'know, when players go to the NFL, it means they don't play for that school anymore.

Which is why I absolutely love Nick Bolton. The fact that he went to Mizzou is meaningless to me.

so you do understand the concept of I don’t give a shit what school he went to

I have a lukewarm friendship with the family of Josey Jewell. As in, I worked with them once, thought they were cool people, and we're friends on Facebook. They knew I was a Chiefs fan, so the next time I saw them after their son got drafted by the Donks, they grinned and were like, "So are you a Denver fan now?" I told them I hope their son stays healthy and gets traded/cut soon and finds a non-shithole franchise to play for, which I thought was very accommodating and understanding to the shame the family has to live with. They acted like I was taking the football thing too far.

Oh well.

Well it looks like he's made a career for himself. First with Denver, now with Carolina. Another shithole franchise, but definitely less humiliating.

Looks like FAU off to a good start at camp.

Gonna hold back until I see the game for sure but I’m getting ere….excited about this

I'm still keeping expectations realistic at 5-7 sacks with a strong finish in the postseason.

Anything more is icing on the cake.

Honestly the whole BJJ stuff seems to be working. Has to help with hand placement.

Mine aren’t even that high!

Just develop and contribute. If Mike Danna can, through hard work and dedication, become a championship contributor, that’s the expectation.

BUT THEY DID THAT ONE TIME!!!

THE COLLEGE BLOOD STILL RUNS IN THEIR VEINS!!!

I MUST HATE THEM!!!

Yes, and I apologize for misunderstanding it earlier. I DID read that wrong. And even then my response was stupid.

So, as this doesn’t happen often here, I formally rescind my request of STFU and will hereby be a better human today.

Well, FAU did say he got drafted by the team he grew up loving so that should be extra motivation.
