Dante's skills are suitable for a more complex offense, like the one we used to have under DV. Solari understood Dante's abilities as a talented role player, and ran numerous plays that gave Dante a quick ball in the flat so that he could make a few jukes and get some yardage. Dante managed to get 3 to 10 yards out of that play every time he ran it.
But that's one play out of an entire game, and his lackluster KR skills and tendency to disappear doesn't make up for it.
But I love having someone with Dante's fire on the Chiefs. He's got attitude for better and for worse, and it's because he believes he can score every time he touches the ball.
He's also tough as shit. He's an awful small guy to take those routes across the middle, as well as the many hits he had to take on special teams. He probably got smacked as much as any Chief over the past four years, and he got up just about every single time. (Anybody know how many games he missed to injury? Just one I can think of.)
Godspeed Dante. May a team that can better utilize your skills better scoop you up, and may they do it for a 4th rounder.
