Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the

Kansas City Chiefs will be inducting Tamba Hali to their franchise Hall of Fame this year.

Originally from Liberia, Tamba Hali arrived in the United States at age 10 and the athletically gifted youngster took to football like a duck to water.  Hali went to Penn State and the Chiefs would draft him 20th overall in 2006 and he played Defensive End for the first three seasons of his career.  Moving to the Right Outside Linebacker in 2009, he would net 14.5 Quarterbacks in 2010 and would have double-digit Sacks again in 2011 and 2013 and from 2011 to 2015 he would be chosen for the Pro Bowl.   Hali played the entirety of his 12 seasons with the Chiefs.

Hali had 89.5 Sacks and 105 Tackles for Loss for the team.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Tamba Hali for this impending honor.

As we approach the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, we have been working on our future eligible section.  As football players don’t always retire after they played their last game (usually to see if they can land another job while sitting out as a free agent) we aren’t able to immediately add them.

Originally from Liberia, Tamba Hali was the 20^th overall pick from Penn State in the 2006 Draft.  Hali played Defensive End for the first three years of his pro career (all of which were with the Kansas City Chiefs) but he found greater success when he was moved to Right Outside Linebacker for the 2009 Season.  From 2011 to 2015 Hali would be chosen for the Pro Bowl and he would twice be named a Second Team All Pro.  It was an incredible transformation, especially considering this occurred at the professional level and he would sack opposing Quarterbacks 89.5 times.
