The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the NFL’s truly historic franchises, from their AFL years down in Dallas and the upstart of the NFL to the very first Super Bowl and their consistent winning ways of the ’90s.
Many great players have come through Kansas City in that time. Len Dawson is an iconic hero amongst Chiefs fans. Being the only Super Bowl-winning quarterback for Kansas City, he has held the keys to Arrowhead since it was built—all while drinking a Fresca and smoking cigarettes on the sidelines.
Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, Emmitt Thomas, Deron Cherry, Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, and Albert Lewis are among the defensive stars that have donned a Chiefs jersey.
