That's awesome! Thrilled to see it.

Great for DJ! I see a pro bowl in his future...

Todd Haley's tough love mentality has proven to work on both cases during his stint in KC.

Bowe is finally being as productive as he needs to be, and DJ is turning into an elite linebacker.

Only thing DJ needs is to take some port-a-potty reps to improve his hands. He's had, what, 5, 6 chances at INTs that he's dropped? If he improves his hands, he can be a legitimate game changer.
