NFL Playoffs: Ranking All Former Vols in the Postseason
124. . Offensive Lineman. Kansas City Chiefs. Zach Fulton. 9. player
He’s been a consistent interior lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs for years now, and Zach Fulton now has a divisional title. But the job is clearly not done.
The second former Vol on this list who is a member of this franchise would like to make a bigger splash in the NFL Playoffs. Fulton leads a line that has kept the Chiefs decent in the rushing attack with 109 yards a game.
That line also did a solid job protecting Alex Smith all year, ranked No. 11 for fewest sacks allowed this year.
With a first-round bye, Fulton and his unit have a chance to get fully healthy, and his team’s opponent could be either the Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders, or Miami Dolphins.
Despite being the No. 6 seed, the Dolphins would likely be the worst match-up for the Chiefs. Still, Fulton and Co. should be able to hold their own against any of these guys.
He hasn’t been a standout star, but he’s been a model of consistency and reliability, and the 6’5″ 316-pound lineman will be a key part of Andy Reid’s offense and what the Chiefs are able to do.
However, he’s not the only key offensive lineman on this list in the NFL Playoffs. Another former Vol who played with him is also there.
