Javier Arenas entered the NFL with a lot to live up to, whether he knew it or not. As a former second round pick by Scott Pioli of the Kansas City Chiefs, Arenas was the sole return from the Atlanta Falcons on tight end Tony Gonzalez, one of the NFL’s all-time best offensive weapons who ended up playing five more seasons after being traded away. As for the Chiefs side of the trade, there wasn’t much to show for it.
Arenas entered the league in the 2010 NFL Draft as a smallish slot corner who was also a dynamic return man from the University of Alabama.
