Dontari Poe

Dontari Poe overachieved at Memphis, as the level he was recruited at going into college was not nearly the level he was pursued at as a pro.  A high First Round Pick in 2012, the massive Poe (340 lbs) was taken by the Kansas City Chiefs, who used him as their starting Nose Tackle for five years.

Poe was very good in that capacity, going to the Pro Bowl in both 2013 and 2014 and became solid inside rush stopper.  He would also make history on the offensive side of the ball, rushing a yard in both 2015 and 2016 for Touchdowns in both touches, and in 2016, he also threw for a yard, again resulting in a TD.  That makes him the heaviest player in NFL history to throw and rush for six!

Poe’s size caught up with him, and he was less effective in his last four years, where he bounced from Atlanta to Carolina and Dallas.  He retired with 20.5 Sacks.
