- 11:16the
- 11:16Chiefs
- 11:17taken
- 11:17in
- 11:172005.
- 11:19He
- 11:19was
- 11:19sort
- 11:20of
- 11:20like
- 11:20your
- 11:20pur.
- 11:21Inside

- 11:22He
- 11:22was
- 11:23not
- 11:23a
- 11:23pass

- 11:29big
- 11:29time
- 11:30high
- 11:30tackle
- 11:31guy.
- 11:32He
- 11:32took
- 11:32a
- 11:32little
- 11:32bit

- 11:34a
- 11:34slow
- 11:34start
- 11:35and
- 11:35I
- 11:35think
- 11:35there
- 11:35were
- 11:35some
- 11:35whispers
- 11:36whether
- 11:36that
- 11:36they
- 11:36may
- 11:37have
- 11:37missed
- 11:37on
- 11:37him.
- 11:37But
- 11:38then
- 11:38he
- 11:38had
- 11:38a
- 11:38five
- 11:39year
- 11:39stretch
- 11:40where
- 11:40he
- 11:40missed
- 11:40one
- 11:41year
- 11:41with
- 11:41injury
- 11:41in
- 11:42that
- 11:42stretch.
- 11:42But
- 11:43he
- 11:43had
- 11:43100
- 11:43plus
- 11:43tackles
- 11:44in
- 11:44all
- 11:44those
- 11:44years.
- 11:45Four
- 11:45Pro
- 11:46Bowls
- 11:46and
- 11:46two
- 11:46All
- 11:47Pros
- 11:47mixed
- 11:47in.
- 11:48He
- 11:48ended
- 11:48with
- 11:49the
- 11:49Raiders
- 11:49and
- 11:50he
- 11:50just
- 11:50missed
- 11:51the
- 11:51Mahomes
- 11:52era.
- 11:52So
- 11:52he
- 11:53was
- 11:53done
- 11:53like
- 11:53he
- 11:54was
- 11:54out

- 11:56when
- 11:57Mahomes
- 11:57was

- 11:59Chiefs
- 11:59teams
- 11:59he
- 11:59played
- 11:59for
- 12:00were

- 12:41defensive
- 12:41end

- 12:43What
- 12:44a
- 12:44start
- 12:44to
- 12:44his
- 12:44career.
- 12:45First
- 12:45team
- 12:46all
- 12:46pro
- 12:46in

- 12:51was
- 12:51in
- 12:51the
- 12:51Pro

- 12:52Then
- 12:52he

- 12:52some
- 12:52injuries
- 12:53Then
- 12:53he
- 12:53had
- 12:53a
- 12:5312
- 12:53and
- 12:53a
- 12:54half

- 12:54season.
- 12:55He

- 12:562011
- 12:57Super

- 12:58champion
- 12:58Giants.
- 13:00And
- 13:00then
- 13:00after
- 13:00the
- 13:002014
- 13:01season
- 13:02is
- 13:02when
- 13:02he
- 13:02had
- 13:02that
- 13:02fireworks
- 13:03accident
- 13:04and
- 13:04literally

- 13:05off
- 13:05like
- 13:05two
- 13:06or
- 13:06three
- 13:06of

- 13:12of
- 13:12gets
- 13:12him
- 13:12on
- 13:13this
- 13:13list
- 13:13is
- 13:13after
- 13:14it

- 13:20like
- 13:202018
- 13:20to
- 13:212020.
- 13:22So
- 13:22he
- 13:22had
- 13:2230
- 13:23sacks
- 13:23over
- 13:24those
- 13:24three

- 13:28that
- 13:28won
- 13:28the
- 13:29Super
- 13:29Bowl.
- 13:31So
- 13:31he

- 13:32bounced
- 13:32back
- 13:32strong.
- 13:33He's

- 13:43Sacks
- 13:44in
- 13:44his
