NEW YORK (AP) - The Kansas City Chiefs have taken LSU defensive
tackle Glenn Dorsey with the fifth selection in the NFL draft.
Dorsey was a highly-decorated lineman last season, capturing the
Bronko Nagurski Award as top defensive player, the Outland Trophy
as the best interior lineman and the Lombardi Award as the top
lineman or linebacker. He finished the year with 69 tackles, 12 and
a-half for loss, seven sacks and four pass breakups for the
national champs, all while playing on a sprained right knee and a
bruised tailbone.
Dorsey became a full-time starter in 2006, finishing with 42
tackles, 8 and a-half for loss and three sacks despite a stress
fracture of his right tibia.
The 6-foot-1, 297-pound Dorsey plays with high energy and
determination with an ability to stuff the run. He rarely quits on
plays and shows great agility and chase speed. Dorsey continued to
play at a very high level despite numerous injuries his last two
years at LSU. He has outstanding quickness and is extremely tough
to drive off the line.
