He has played in nine career games for the Chiefs (2024) and Giants (2025), totaling five defensive tackles along with four special teams stops. He appeared in all three playoff games for the Chiefs in 2024, including the team\u2019s Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nwokobia, weighing in at 6-foot, 206 pounds, is a rookie out of Southern Methodist University. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cincyjungle.com\/cincinnati-bengals-free-agency\/191225\/isaiah-nwokobia-udfa-safety-smu-football\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">We did a profile on him on April 26<\/a> when he initially agreed to an undrafted free agent deal with the Bengals.
