Chiefs Add Freakish Defensive End, Ultra-Productive Running Back on Day Two

Much like the Kansas City Chiefs' first-round pick, quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, whose highlight reel is littered with the kind of throws others wouldn't even attempt, the team's second-round pick (No. 59 overall)—defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon—is also largely defined on the field by his physical abilities.

Kpassagnon, who played collegiately at Villanova and finished his senior year with 45 total tackles, including 21.5 for loss and 11 sacks, is a physical specimen at 6 feet 6 and 289 pounds, possessing less than 4 percent body fat as well.

Simply put, Kpassagnon is well-versed in finding the weight room.
