| Chiefs Rookie NT Dontari Poe Earning High Marks For Work Ethic, Study Habits
Chiefs rookie NT Dontari Poe is earning high marks from his defensive line coach for his work ethic and willingness to dig into his studies. Anthony Pleasant seems quite pleased with his prodigy so far. "It’s good to have a guy of that magnitude and size, you just have to work hard—which he has been doing," said Pleasant. "Coming from college to the pros is a big transition for him, so he’s learning how to play the technique. He is a unique type of player he just has to continue to work hard and push himself. Personally, I just emphasize him watching film, saying this is how you need to play and this is your technique." If Poe can get the mental side of the game to the point where it’s automatic, then the Chiefs could have a game-changing talent on their hands on the inside. Haloti Ngata and Casey Hampton are similar players who free up the linebackers and ends around them to make plays as the pocket collapses or runners bounce to the outside. Poe has the potential to do the same. Source: SBNation.com |
