I was very fortunate to be able to go to the draft dinner that year. He was like a deer in the headlights...totally humble, but still very kind.
Pretty cool that the Chiefs took him under their wing and Kansas City wrapped their arms around him..the impression the city has had on him isn't anything new...players come here, and never leave. I'm proud our town is part of his legacy.
Lord knows it was fun watching him and Jared, but Tamba picked up the torch after he left and put the work in..JJ classes..? I can only imagine the sacks he would have without being gang raped at the line...his ability to hit the edge and win the hand battle is very similar to DT.. just a joy to watch play.
His excitement on the sidelines this year more than validates his passion for the Chiefs and the game....
Well done sir, well done. You've got a heart the size of Texas. You've earned every penny and have shown that the American dream is still very alive, when you want it bad enough. Thanks for representing our team with class and dignity.
