They started off in Dallas as the Texans this was the first AFL season in 1960, after a couple/few years they moved to Kansas City, as the Chiefs .
The first "star" oft the new league was a Dallas Texan out of North Texas State named Abner Haynes another number 28, he had been the first black to play college football in Texas (him and a teammate).
Ih his North Texas State uni, one of my prized possesions
As we know the Kansas City Chiefs played in the very first Superbowl with future Hall of Famer Len Dawson at the helm, that was the first of seven times playing in the biggie,
In the 4th Superbowl the AFL needed another win a NFL 3 AFL 1 would suck, As we know the Chiefs evened the score at 2-2.
Over the years that franchise has had some of the great characters in pro football from tiny Nolan "Super Gnat" Smith a kick returner to the monstrous Buck Buchcanon, Ernie Ladd and the 6-10 TE Morris Strode.
Toss in Fred "Hammer" Williamson (future actor) Mack "Truck" Lee Hill the most powerful RB ever, banged up a knee, died on the operating table, there was another bull Christian :"Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye, the Wondorus Warren McVea, The Tank Robert Holmes like the Truck out of Southern U.
Fred Arbansas was the best TE in the AFL he preceded Tony Gonzalez and Travis Kelce obviously. Then there was Tyreek Hill, while not the fastest in track he was the fastest ever on a football field in pads with ball in hand, the guy was amaizing.
What can we say about Patrick Mahomes other than....WOW!....is this cat a great QB or what?
Once had a defense with six future Hall of Famers out there, thinking that was a first.
Speaking of great Chiefs, this stud doesn't get the props he deserves, he was the first of the big fast physical receivers,
Would you believe back in the day the NFL did have the Kansas City Cowboys?
