The Name Game: Mike Elkins

by Draft

nfl_elkins_65New feature: I’m just going to give you a name and a picture, and I want to see what everyone remembers about that ex-Chiefs player. Somehow, some way, this guy has been all but erased from the universe. In fact, the only image I could find of him was this headshot. It’s like Chiefs fans just conveniently wiped this guy from our collective memory Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind style. But, unfortunately, he did actually exist.

Hilarious to see this... Mike married one of my friends from KU, Lisa Osment, whom he met here in KC while playing with the Chiefs. They have two kids, living in Austin TX. Very happy... doing the whole corporate thing. He'd be thrilled to read the previous 4 comments. He's still a stud.

That's a great answer, Rando. He looks like an 80s movie quarterback. Or the college hotshot from a movie like Animal House of Revenge of the Nerds, maybe even the cool guy in The Goonies.

I think of Wake Forest and a time when quarterbacks actually looked like they could get laid.

Oh, if memory serves, he was a second round pick as a QB. One of a couple of QB's Marty never developed. Marty was a fine coach, but QB development was not his strong suit.

A guy who never got much of a shot.
