He was a member of the “Magnificent Seven,” which were the seven players picked up on the waiver wire by Kansas City Chiefs general manager before the start of the 2013 season.
Defensive lineman Jaye Howard, who originally entered the league as a fourth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 out of the University of Florida, was given an opportunity to thrive in Kansas City after playing sparingly as a rookie for the Seahawks.
Four of those seven players—Howard, linebacker Dezman Moses, cornerback Marcus Cooper and safety Ron Parker—are still on the roster three years later.
