Danna has communicated with members of the front office, and the coaching staff has been impressed.

He transferred because he wanted to play against the best competition and was a backup DE at Michigan
The Chiefs select Michigan pass-rusher Mike Danna with the No. 177 pick. Danna tallied 151 tackles, 28 TFLs and 4 forced fumbles in 3 seasons at Central Michigan before transferring to Michigan in '19. He recorded 38 tackles, three TFLs and a forced fumble for the Wolverines.
He has tools and a good athlete. May have been situation thing at Michigan that he didn’t get a chance to play to his strengths. Could be a scheme issue or playing in the big 10 probably gets you less opportunities to rush passer [Reply]
