38. Larry Johnson

Many people can’t stand Johnson around Kansas City, and for good reason. He never seemed happy and more bothersome, allegedly had a real problem with woman and other folks. However, just going off what he did on the field, Johnson deserves to be on this list.

After stepping in to replace an injured Priest Holmes, Johnson rushed for 6,223 career yards and 55 touchdowns, almost all of it coming with Kansas City. Johnson was a two-time All-Pro and in 2005 and 2006, cracked the 1,700-yard barrier. However, he was never the same after Herm Edwards rode him into the ground in the latter season.

37. Dustin Colquitt

Only in Kansas City would two punters make the list, but both are deserving. Colquitt signed an extension in 2013 that made him the highest-paid punter of all time, and it was well deserved. Somehow, Colquitt has only been to the Pro Bowl twice, but that does not take away what he has achieved throughout his 14-year career.

Colquitt also has a booming leg, averaging 44.9 yards per punt. At 36 years old, Colquitt is seemingly getting better each season. His father, Craig, played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s and won two Super Bowls.
