Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon has not exactly played well enough in his first three NFL seasons to make himself a household name, but he probably deserves more respect than Deshaun Watson gave him during Sunday’s game.
Kspassagnon, a former second-round pick out of Villanova, pressured Watson on one of the Houston Texans’ drives late in the first half and made the quarterback throw the ball away. Kspassagnon then flexed in Watson’s face, and Watson responded by pointing at the lineman with a confused look on his face and asking, “Who is that?”

That’s cold, Deshaun.
Kspassagnon may not be as well known as Frank Clark, but he appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs this season and recorded 29 total tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble. Watson should have at least become somewhat familiar with him while studying film, and Deshaun likely was just talking trash. If not, the quarterback knows who Kspassagnon is now.
