He’s not your classic Spagnuolo defensive end

Danna was a surprise pick for the Chiefs because he isn’t the type of player Steve Spagnuolo likes at the defensive end spot. He is listed at 6-2 and 261 pounds and has shorter arms. That is much smaller than the defensive ends that Kansas City already has on the roster, and historically, Spags likes length in his defensive ends. Danna is still super athletic profile matching the Chiefs’ draft plan with a vertical jump of around 41-45 inches. We’ll see if he’s able to pick up where he left off at Michigan, making plays in the backfield.
