One of the most gracious and kind-hearted members of the Kansas City Chiefs over the past three seasons, veteran defensive lineman Mike DeVito, announced on Monday morning via Twitter and an article he wrote for the “The Drive,” that he was hanging up his cleats after nine years in the NFL.
DeVito addressed his retirement in a wonderfully written piece about his football journey that began when he was only 5 years old. DeVito mentions those who have helped him along the way, including Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson. DeVito opens up in a way in which anyone who has spent time around him understands is completely genuine, heartfelt and honest.
