Clark Hunt is forging his own impressive legacy as an NFL owner

He brought the Chiefs to Kansas City, was a key part of the AFL-NFL merger, and is even credited with naming the Super Bowl. There are few people in the history of professional footballl who had a bigger impact on the game of than Lamar Hunt.

Hunt passed way in December of 2006. While the Hunt family has split ownership of the franchise, Clark Hunt became the face of the ownership and the one overseeing decision-making. He took over the franchise just under 3 months from his 42nd birthday and remains the youngest owner in the NFL today.
