Timothy A. Krumrie (born May 20, 1960 in Menomonie, Wisconsin) is a former American Football nose tackle who played his entire NFL career for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1983 through 1994. Krumrie is currently the Defensive Line Coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. He played his high school ball in Mondovi Wisconsin and college ball at the University of Wisconsin.
Widely considered one of the best defensive linemen ever to play for the Bengals, Krumrie was selected to the Pro Bowl twice (1987, 1988) and assisted the team to a Super Bowl appearance. He finished his career with 34 sacks and 13 fumble recoveries for 35 return yards in 188 games.
Krumrie may perhaps be best known for suffering one of the most dramatic football injuries ever televised, a shattered leg during Super Bowl Super Bowl XXIII against the San Francisco 49ers. While trying to tackle 49ers running back Roger Craig, the cleats on his left shoe caught in the grass and the rest of Krumrie's body was spun around nearly 180 degrees. He suffered two breaks in his tibia and another in his fibula. A 15-inch steel rod was surgically implanted to stabilize the leg, and amazingly, Krumrie was ready by the next training camp and played 6 more years.
He has a wife named Cheryl, and two children named Kelly and Dexter. Kelly is currently attending college in Colorado and Dexter is currently in a band called The Road Home in Orchard Park New York
