Here's part of an interview posted on the Star, link above. In it, Frank speaks to his and Chris Jones' desire to be the best defensive line tandem in NFL history. I say, go for it Frank, you could do it, but remember some Chiefs' history along the way. Buck Buchanan and Curly Culp say hi. You've got some work to do.
What does CP think? After five years, I'd be happy to be able to say their names along with Buck and Curly. but that's a tough two to better. Here's the segment:
It’s the same “we,” at least for the most part. The Chiefs have kept their defensive line largely resembling last year’s group, a point solidified by the long-term extension with Chris Jones.
A point Clark made sure to underscore.
“We look at each other and understand what’s asked of us,” Clark said. “We understand the type of pressure that’s put on players like us. We embrace it too. It’s fun.
“We want to be the two best defensive linemen to ever play the game together. That’s one of the things we always talk about. We got a few years to do something great. That’s the reality of the game. You’ve got a few years to do something great and bet the greatest you can be at doing it. Why not do it?”

We have had some dynamic pairs throughout Chiefs history.
If there was any way Carl could have kept Smith in 97 (unsure it was even possible), I'm convinced that 97 Chiefs team goes to the Super Bowl with Thomas and Smith (critically, Denver also doesn’t derail KC’s first half drives without Neil)
Jones and Clark could give this defense an identity that shines on its own from the Chiefs offense. Can you imagine this offense paired with a Top 5 defense? Geeeez. We're talking greatest team in NFL history potential here.
