Kansas City Football lost one of its early stars, Abner Haynes, who passed away at the age of 86.
Haynes was with the Chiefs from their inception, dating back to 1960 when they were the Dallas Texans. Winning the AFL Rookie of the Year, Haynes would also win the UPI and The Sporting News Player of the Year off of his league-leading 875 Rushing Yards and 9 TDs. A dual-threat Halfback, Haynes led the AFL in Rushing Touchdowns the next two seasons and was a vital part of the team’s AFL Championship in 1962.
With the Texans/Chiefs, Haynes rushed for 3,814 Yards and caught 199 passes for 2,739 Yards with 56 Touchdowns from scrimmage. The man who was the franchise’s first superstar was inducted to their Hall of Honor in 1991.
We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Abner Haynes's fans, friends, and family.
