The blocking and intensity of Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher have gone in a major upward direction over the past year.
The former top overall pick was once regarded as soft and a disappointment. He didn't play against the Texans in the season opener last season due to a sprained ankle with many teammates and members of the organization regarding as Fisher not wanting to play against Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt.
By the time of the Texans' 30-0 playoff loss to the Chiefs in January, Fisher was playing with a different attitude. He aggressively shoved Watt into the ground after the NFL Defensive Player of the Year had already collapsed due to torn groin muscles that later required surgery, an action that Watt characterized as dirty.
