I worry a little about that as well. He is listed at 6'7". Leverage may be an issue, but he is 345 lbs.

This is why we didn't go after a NT
I really hope that we are at least thinking about him. I think he would be a good help to this football team. Would not mind seeing him signed at all.
this would be a very solid pickup
Henderson to visit Chiefs & Giants (Chiefs 1st on Wednesday) -
DT John Henderson Will Visit Chiefs and Giants
Quote: For Henderson, Kansas City is likely the more attractive option as New York is already stacked on the d-line, including Linval Joseph whom they drafted in the second-round of the draft on Friday.
The belief is that he could transition smoothly into the Chiefs 3-4 defense. He could stay at tackle or try to slim down and transition to defensive end.

I believe we could rotate him in at all 3 DL spots, NT on running downs & LE or RE taking advantage of the best match-up on passing downs. This would improve our run D, while still using Big John at his biggest strength which is putting pressure on the passer.
A line of Dorsey, Henderson, Smith & Hali in our infrequent 4-3 looks should be effective as well. Could you imagine Dorsey & Smith in the middle, with Hali & Henderson getting after the QB from the end spots once in a while http://www.chiefscrowd.com/forums/im...010/04/122.jpg
As far as slimming down to play DE, that will happen naturally at Haley's fat camp, like it or not lol.
Please, wrap him up Pioli!!!
I agree! :sign0151: :sign0151:
