Tamba Hali is not an official member of the Kansas City Chiefs active roster, but that wouldn’t stop anyone in Chiefs Kingdom from claiming him as their own.
It also hasn’t stopped Hali himself from defending his (former) teammates, at least when it comes to the Chiefs new starting quarterback in Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes has his doubters as a first-year starter for the Chiefs, after the team traded away incumbent Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins. Even after consecutive division titles for the first time in franchise history, NFL analysts league-wide are picking the Los Angeles Chargers or Denver Broncos as the better teams in the division, and some have even predicted the Chiefs to fall from first to worst in the AFC West.
