Few people are more excited for the Kansas City Chiefs to get back on the field in pads than defensive end Mike DeVito. The veteran lineman was injured with a torn Achilles in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans last year, causing him to miss the entire campaign.
It was a brutal time for DeVito, who had to watch his teammates miss the playoffs by a single game. Unquestionably, DeVito had to be thinking his loss was the difference between making and missing the postseason. Of course, Kansas City was also without Pro Bowl inside linebacker Derrick Johnson, who freakishly went down with the same injury in the same game.
