Carlos Carson, a blur in cleats, was a game-changing wide receiver threat for the Chiefs of the 1980s.
Carson burned cornerbacks deep, had the trusty hands to grasp anything thrown his way, and the instincts to convert third downs and score touchdowns.
And on Sunday night at the annual 101 Banquet at the Westin Crown Center Hotel, the man his teammates called “Speedy”, was introduced by Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt as the 47th member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame.
Carson, 58, is just the third wide receiver whose name will adorn the Ring of Honor at Arrowhead Stadium, joining Chris Burford (1975) and Otis Taylor (1982).
