The #Chiefs take Villanova DE/OLB Tanoh Kpassagnon.

He's 6'6", 289 pounds and had 21.5 TFL last year.

I think you guys aren’t understanding that I’m talking about his ability to bend. A guy that size is simply not going to have ideal bend, but most wouldn’t even have the ability. The fact that he’s even capable is enough to go with his size, strength, and athleticism IMO.

That's the thing though, those clips don't really show much bend.

I understand that, but unfortunately those are the best examples I could find. I’m not basing this off of those examples in particular though. Like I said (along with Seth in his post), he’s shown the ability on a few occasions.

Here are some better examples:

Yeah, see again, I think Keysor is seeing what he wants to see there. The second one looks decent, but he still has to go so wide it doesn't really matter.

We'll see if he's developed any this year.

O.city · 06-21-2018, 10:51 AM

Admittedly though, he's so big and tall, it's gonna be damn near physically impossible for him to bend like a guy that's 4 inches shorter.

That’s my point. With everything else he has, I think he has enough bend to work with. He showed more bend in 2017 than he did in any college tape/highlights I saw, maybe he can continue to improve.

I want to see him "bend" QB's backward while drilling them for sacks.

My LB's got the beeeeennnnnds oh no

Here’s an example:

Eh...look at how high Stephenson's hands were. That was more on Stephenson being shitty than Kpass having a good bend or anything.

Yeah....those aren't good bends at all.

I'm mostly worried about how they reduced his playing time after the Denver game, cut it in half twice and didn't even let him see the field vs TN.

NOT A GOOD SIGN.

Actually, a really, really bad sign.

I don’t know what you are expecting. It’s solid for a guy his size.

I don’t know why you expected him to get more playing time after the Denver game. He was essentially a redshirt. Like I said, he’s been running with the 1’s throughout OTA’s (though Ford is out). He wouldn’t have moved up the depth chart if they weren’t satisfied with his progress.
