Dale Carter was a First Round Draft Pick (20^th Overall) out of the University of Tennessee and it did not take long for the young Cornerback to prove himself as one of the better players at his position.  Named the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1992, from 1994 to 1997 he was a Pro Bowl Selection and was also rewarded with a pair of Second Team All-Pro Selections (1995 & 1996).  Carter would pick off Quarterbacks 21 times as a Chief. 

Alex Smith was a former number one pick from the University of Utah and yet it always felt as if he was the red-headed stepchild of the National Football League. 

The Hall of Fame career of Willie Roaf was more synonymous with the New Orleans Saints but it cannot be discounted just how good Roaf remained when he was traded to the Chiefs for his final four seasons in the NFL.
