The Kansas City Chiefs made Eric Fisher the First Overall Pick in the 2013 Draft, and the Offensive Lineman made history as the first player from the Mid-American Conference to earn that honor.

Fisher was inserted as the starting Left Tackle, and while he did not achieve the heights that would be expected from a player of that draft stock, the Chiefs did not have to worry about his position for years.  Aiding the Chiefs in their Super Bowl LIV win, Fisher went to two Pro Bowls (2018 & 2020) and started all but four of his 117 Games with Kansas City.

Mitchell Schwartz played his first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and while he did well, he was not in that upper tier of Right Tackles.  This would change when he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 and would have one of the best four-year stretches of any Offensive Tackle in franchise history, although you would not know it based on his Pro Bowl amounts.

That number, by the way, is zero.

In Schwartz's first four years in Kansas City, he had Approximate Values of 12, 16, 20 & 16, and in the year he had 20 (2018), he was second in the NFL in this metric. While the Pro Bowl voters snubbed him, he was a First Team All-Pro in 2018 and a Second Team selection in the other three years.  The Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV, and Schwartz's contributions should never be discounted.

After only playing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Schwartz was released, and retired shortly after.  Pro Bowl or not, the Tackle had one of the best runs in Chief history, and hopefully, this is celebrated in the future.

Tyreke Hill had his share of off-field trouble when he was a star at Oklahoma State, and he had to relocate to Western Alabama.  Nevertheless, concern about his domestic violence arrest cost him draft spots, which dropped the talented Wide Receiver to the Fifth Round, where he was chosen by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill had 860 Yards from Scrimmage and was the Chiefs primary Punt Returner, for which he led the NFL in Punt Return Yards (592) and was a First Team All-Pro.  He was still returning punts in his second and third campaign but was now starting at Wide Receiver, and has to date eclipsed the 1,100 Yard mark, with his current high being 1,479 in 2018, which became his second First Team All-Pro year.  Hill's production dipped below 1,000 Yards in 2019, though that was due primarily to missing four games due to suspension.  Regardless, Hill still was a Pro Bowler, and in that year's Super Bowl, he was fantastic, catching nine passes for 105 Yards in their win over San Francisco. 

Hill played a sixth and final season with Kansas City, and again was chosen for the Pro Bowl, giving him a clean sweep in terms of his Chiefs tenure.  Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022, ending his Chiefs totals to 67 Touchdowns and 8,745 All-Purpose Yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been around a long time, and many Hall of Famers have called KC home.  This would you make you expect that a player that has only suited up for a few years as a Chief could not crack this list so high, so early. Patrick Mahomes was not aware of this expectation.

Taken with the 10th Pick in 2017, the Quarterback from Texas Tech was an understudy to Alex Smith as a rookie, but the plan was for him to take over in 2018, and boy, did he ever!   In 2018, Mahomes threw for 5,097 Yards with a league-leading 50 Touchdowns against only 12 Interceptions.  Mahomes proved he could use his legs, but with a cannon-like gun he has for an arm, he was a pass-first QB despite his ability to be the other.  Mahomes was the AP MVP, PFWA MVP, Bert Bell Award Winner, and the Offensive Player of the Year in 2018, and he was also a First Team All-Pro. 

Mahomes missed a pair of Games in 2019 due to injury, but he still threw for over 4,000 Yards with a sparking TD Ratio of 26-5.  More importantly, he took the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in 40 years, defeating the San Francisco 49ers.  Mahomes was named the Game’s MVP, throwing for two TDs, and rushing for another.

The Quarterback again had a great 2020, with 38 Touchdowns and 4,740 Passing Yards.  Mahomes again led Kansas City to the Super Bowl, but that second ring eluded him as Tom Brady, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would not be denied.  Mahomes again went to the Pro Bowl in 2021, with another post-season trip.  In 2022, Mahomes would not be denied in seeking a second Super Bowl, where he narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.  That year, Mahomes also won his second MVP, second Touchdown Pass Title and first Passing Yards Title.  He also added a Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro.  

When you thought it could not get any better, Mahomes led the Chiefs to another Super Bowl win, this time with a second win over San Francisco.  He also added a sixth straight Pro Bowl.

Entering the 2024 season as the most decorated active Quarterback in Football, and it is not without the realm of possibility for Mahomes to do it all again.  We are lucky to be watching him in real time.
