The Kansas City Chiefs selected Powe, 35, in the 2011 NFL Draft after he spent four years as a defensive tackle for Ole Miss in college from 2008 to 2010. He spent a season playing with the Houston Texans as well. Prior to the 2015 season, he signed with Washington, however he was not included on the final roster.

Powe, who retired from the NFL with many crippling injuries, atrial fibrillation, and anxiety, was described as having these conditions in a 2017 profile. He had gone back to Ole Miss at that time to get his criminal justice degree.
