Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Kansas City Chiefs of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This our first revision in two years, and with the Chiefs participating in the last two Super Bowls (winning the first), there are four new additions and one significant jump.  

1. Will Shields

2. Len Dawson

3. Derrick Thomas

4. Tony Gonzalez

5. Bobby Bell

You can find the entire list here.

Again, we need to state that this is the first revision in two years, so had we gotten around to redoing it last year, the debuts would not have been so dramatic.  

Our bad!

Moving on…

Tight End, Travis Kelce vaults from #34 to #19, and he is regarded as the top man in his position.

Quarterback and former MVP, Patrick Mahomes enters at #27.  It would not surprise us if he becomes number one in the future.

Wide Receiver, Tyreke Hill, comes in at #42.

Offensive Linemen, Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher make their debuts at #45and #48respectively. Both are no longer Chiefs.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Roberto Alomar has been placed on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list following an investigation of a sexual misconduct incident in 2014. 

Alomar, who had been working as a consultant with MLB and was also a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays was immediately terminated from both roles.   The Jays, whom he won two World Series Titles with, announced that they will sever all ties with their former Second Baseman.  This includes removing a banner that honors his retired #12, and also his name from their ring of honor.  

The Baseball Hall of Fame, who inducted Alomar in 2011, will not be removing him.   He also will not be expelled by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, but they did state that they would not be inviting him to future events, nor will they do any work with his foundation.

Alomar played 17 seasons in a career spent with San Diego, Toronto, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York (NL), Chicago (AL) and Arizona.  

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.

Off-field arrests during his collegiate career at Oklahoma State forced Tyreek Hill to finish his college tenure at West Alabama, making NFL front offices hesitate on draft day. Recognizing his world-class track speed, Kansas City selected the explosive playmaker in the fifth round (165th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft—a decision that instantly reshaped Andy Reid’s perimeter offense and special teams units.

Hill made an immediate national impact during his rookie campaign as the league's most fearsome return artist. Leading the NFL with 592 punt return yards and returning two punts and one kickoff for touchdowns, he added 860 total scrimmage yards and 12 combined touchdowns to secure a Pro Bowl nod and consensus AP First-Team All-Pro selection as a return specialist.

As Patrick Mahomes stepped into the starting quarterback role, "Cheetah" fully transitioned into a dominant, primary wide receiver. Hill broke out with 1,183 receiving yards in 2017 before exploding in 2018 with 87 receptions for a career-high 1,479 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns—earning his second First-Team All-Pro nod as Kansas City advanced to the AFC Championship Game.

A clavicle injury sidelined him for four games during the 2019 regular season, but Hill remained a lethal big-play weapon when healthy. He capped off that campaign on pro football's biggest stage in Super Bowl LIV, hauling in nine passes for 105 yards—highlighted by a famous 44-yard catch on "Jet Chip Wasp" on 3rd-and-15—to spark Kansas City's dramatic fourth-quarter comeback victory over San Francisco.

Hill continued his aerial dominance over his final two seasons in Missouri, recording 1,276 receiving yards and a career-best 15 touchdowns in 2020 (earning a third First-Team All-Pro honor) followed by a franchise-record 111 receptions in 2021. In March 2022, Kansas City traded the star wideout to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a massive haul of five draft picks.

In Kansas City, Hill generated 479 receptions for 6,630 receiving yards, 719 rushing yards, 8,745 all-purpose yards, and 67 total touchdowns.
