Number 57, OLB, Tamba Hali.

Tamba Hali is a warrior and has been a terror for quarterbacks since his switch to outside linebacker. He was having a tremendous season last year before suffering his injury. PFF writes,

"“Another double digit sack season for Hali who would log 970 regular season snaps in a season with his customary heavy workload. As ever his pass rushing was the key to his success as he led his position in quarterback disruptions during the regular season before adding another seven in a big postseason showing. He may have been upstaged by his partner in crime, but Hali nonetheless was incredibly productive on his way to finishing sixth overall during our regular season rankings."

Best Performance: Week 4, NYG @ KC, +4.3

Key Stat: 77 quarterback disruptions were the most of any 3-4 outside linebacker.

Hali has been a work horse since the day he stepped foot in Kansas City. Since the 2009 season, Hali’s career has really turned a corner and him pairing with Justin Houston has quickly made them the most dynamic pass rushing group in the league. Unfortunately, 2014 might be Hali’s final in Kansas City due to his age and contract numbers.
