He’s one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs, but even that delineation of prominence doesn’t do veteran linebacker Tamba Hali justice.
After 10 years in Kansas City, he’s more than a stat sheet, more than forced fumble or sack numbers.
He’s one of a kind.
To know him is to respect him, for not only the way he’s carried himself when the camera is in his face as a leader of this team, but also for how he treats the hotel and flight staff when the team travels, how he’s more of a father than football player when he’s running around the practice field with his daughter on off days.
