The overall Kansas City Chief resume of Larry Johnson is an inconsistent one.  A 2003 First Round Draft Pick from Penn State, Johnson was not someone who Head Coach Dick Vermeil particularly wanted and their relationship was off to a rocky start.  Johnson saw very little playing time and it took an injury to the incumbent Priest Holmes in Johnson’s second year for him to see any real action, but that would change in 2005.

When you are a Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs you can realistically only hope to be the second-best ever in franchise history due to the greatness of first ballot Hall of Famer, Tony Gonzalez, though that being said, Travis Kelce is making a lot of noise to supplant Gonzalez as the top Tight End in franchise history.  He is already far more famous!

A Pro Bowl Selection in 1999, Tim Grunhard was drafted in the second round from Notre Dame in 1990 and in his sophomore season was affixed as the starting Center, a position he would hold for the next ten years.  A good player throughout his career, Grunhard was also known for his philanthropic endeavors in the Kansas City community throughout his time as a Kansas City Chief.

36. Jim Lynch

Playing all 151 of his Games in the National Football League with the Kansas City Chiefs the former Maxwell Award winner from Notre Dame had a very good professional career.  The durable Linebacker started every game he played in after his rookie season (10 seasons) and he was named an AFL All-Star in 1968 while also being named a Second Team All-Pro that year and the next one.  Lynch would record 17 Interceptions over his career and he would help Kansas City win Super Bowl IV.  The Chiefs inducted Lynch into their Hall of Fame in 1990.
