2016 NFL Draft Preview: Five Intriguing Defensive Linemen

The Kansas City Chiefs had five players accumulate at least 180 snaps along the defensive line last season.

The combination of Dontari Poe, Allen Bailey, Jaye Howard, Mike DeVito and Nick Williams provided a stout set of players in the trenches.

Last season, this group was the best in the NFL in short-yardage situations, allowing first downs just 44.4 percent of the time on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 attempts. The NFL average was 66.6 percent.

It’s important to note that as we near the beginning of offseason workouts, one of those players is not on the roster.
