40. Stephone Paige

Paige sort of gets lost in the shuffle because he played during a down period for the Chiefs. Paige came to Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 1983 and stayed with the team until his retirement following the 1992. Despite playing most of his career with almost no run game and quarterbacks such as Todd Blackledge, Paige registered 6,341 receiving yards and 49 touchdowns.

The best year of Paige’s career came in 1990 with Steve DeBerg running the show. Paige was able to put up career-highs with 65 catches and 1,021 yards. In 1985 and 1986, Paige combined to score 21 touchdowns, helping Kansas City reach the postseason for the first time in 15 years.

39. Art Still

Still came out of the University of Kentucky with plenty of expectation and he did not disappoint. The Chiefs took the hulking defensive lineman with the second-overall pick of the 1978 draft and enjoyed his talents until 1988, when he went to the Buffalo bills for the final two years of his career.

Still was selected to the Pro Bowl four times with the Chiefs and racked up 72.5 sacks, making him one of the top pass-rushers in Kansas City’s history. Only Derrick Thomas, Tamba Hali and Neil Smith have more. Still was also a two-time All-Pro.
