Hali racked up 89.5 and 33 forced fumbles sacks in 12 seasons with K.C. as a defensive end/outside linebacker. In a video on Hali’s Instagram, it appears his focus with Karlaftis is hand work. Hali was known for having great hand work as part of his pass rush arsenal.

This eliminates cuts from 90 to 85 players and 85 to 80 players prior to final cuts.
