24. Christian Okoye

The Nigerian Nightmare was something of a fleeting comet. Okoye did not play for very long, but his career will always be remembered for the fire it brought. At 6-foot-1 and 260 pounds, Okoye played from 1987-92 with the Chiefs and was twice named to the Pro Bowl.

In 1989, Okoye led the NFL with 1,480 rushing yards and was named to the All-Pro team. He would add another 1,000-yard campaign in 1991, leading Kansas City to the playoffs for the second straight year. Okoye finished his career with 4,897 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns.

23. Brian Waters

Waters might not make it to the Hall of Fame, but he was one of the best left guards to ever suit up. Waters came into the league without any fanfare, an undrafted rookie out of North Texas in 1999. After being on the Dallas Cowboys that season, Waters came to Kansas City in 2000 and stayed there for 11 seasons.

Waters was a six-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro. The Texas native also was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2009, his penultimate season with the Chiefs. Waters will always be remembered for being part of that historic line that included Will Shields and Willie Roaf.
