Number 30, DT, Dontari Poe

Poe is a downright, stud athlete. I was so angry when the Chiefs selected him and now he is a constant server of my own crow. PFF writes,

"“One of (if not the) most durable defensive tackles in the league, Poe proved to be some kind of athlete to manage the workload he did while grading in the green in 11 of 16 games he featured in. Particularly strong against the run (where his 30 defensive stops were 3rd most of all nose tackles) this every down terror showed no signs of slowing down as the year went on, registering a pressure in all but two games with eight games of three or more. Described as a workout warrior before entering the league, there aren’t any tagging him for his combine numbers instead of his performance now."

Best Performance: Week 5, KC @ TEN, +4.6

Key Stat: His 1,004 regular season snaps were the most of any defensive tackle and he was rested in Week 17.”

Poe took a huge step forward in 2013 and he will be the anchor of this Chiefs defense for many years to come. Still can’t believe how angry I was about this pick. Just further proves we just don’t know until they play. Poe’s numbers speak for themselves for 2013 and it’s a ton of fun, no fat joke intended, to see a big guy move like he does.
