That's what JJ Watt did last season. Brett Keisel, too, to name another 3-4 team.

Can't really compare Pittsburgh to KC, as Pittsburgh plays a zone blitz whereas the Chiefs play a 2-gap. Not to say that a pass rush presence isn't nice in a 2-gap, ala Richard Seymour, but it's not the primary responsibility. Jackson is a lot more responsible for freeing opportunities for other guys than a 3-4 DE who plays 1-gap or zone blitz. Ty Warren was never a great pass rusher, but he was a very good lineman for New England.
