In the NFL Draft 2008 he was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1st round as a total of 15th player and converted to the left tackle. He was able to establish himself in the team immediately and, with his blocks, played a major role in the Chiefs' good running game, which was tailored to Jamaal Charles . In 2013 he was first appointed to the Pro Bowl .

Miami Dolphins

In 2014 he moved to the Miami Dolphins, with whom he signed a five-year contract worth $ 47 million . In 2015 he was elected to the Pro Bowl for the second time.

Jacksonville Jaguars

In March 2017, he switched to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a seven-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft , but at the end of July he announced his retirement from active sport, only to declare that he wanted to play in the NFL again a week later. He was initially put on the Injured Reserve List by the Jaguars , but released a little later.

Since then he has been rumored to have been associated with various teams - such as the New York Giants or the Seattle Seahawks - but without a new engagement.
