A first-round selection out of Penn State in the 2006 NFL Draft, Hali dedicated his entire 12-year career to Kansas City, participating in 177 games. His 157 career starts rank him tied for sixth-most in the franchise&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Recognized as one of the most formidable pass-rushers in team history, Hali\u00a0was elected to the Pro Bowl six times and was Second-Team All-Pro twice during his career. He holds the second-highest totals in sacks (89.5) and forced fumbles (33), trailing only fellow Chiefs Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>While he&#8217;s well removed from his playing days, Hali&#8217;s fingerprints can be found on the current Chiefs team.\u00a0Hali helped train 2022\u00a0first-round draft pick, Chiefs DE George Karlaftis,\u00a0during the 2023 offseason. Hali then\u00a0worked alongside both Karlaftis and 2023&#8217;s first-round pick, DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah\u00a0in the 2024 offseason. He trains them not only in the art of the pass rush but also trains them in Jiu-Jitsu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it brings joy,&#8221;\u00a0Hali said in May. &#8220;It feels like I\u2019m always part of the team. Coaching is hard. I wouldn\u2019t wish it on people to go coach. It\u2019s hard. These guys are here early, and they leave (late). I want to give back somehow, and I live in the community. Working with George (Karlaftis) (and) working with Felix (Anudike-Uzomah). I knew where they are in their career. When I got here, it was hard on me to try to figure out how to play the position, not just from the left side but from the right side and all the different techniques they\u2019re asking us. The coaches\u2019 jobs here are not to teach you technique, you should already know and that\u2019s not the case with the guys coming into the league, especially with our defensive linemen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Close to 100 former players will join Hali on Sunday to celebrate his induction into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. The Chiefs alumni will attend a pregame reception honoring Hali prior to his induction ceremony at halftime. Hali will also be the pregame drum leader, getting fans ready to go on the GEHA Drum Deck before kickoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0will induct their 49th player and 53rd individual into the Ring of Honor on Sunday night.
