8. John Alt

Yet another former first round pick to make this list, John Alt first debuted with the red and gold in 1984. He was one of the best left tackles in franchise history, playing all 13 seasons of his NFL career as a Chief. The big, bruising Alt stood at 6-foot-8 and was a very intimidating and skilled lineman for years for this organization.

A two-time Pro Bowl section, the ex-Iowa Hawkeye is one of many on this list that is in the team’s HOF, as he was inducted in 2002. Alt’s son Mark was actually drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2010 NHL Draft and now plays in the American Hockey League.

7. E.J. Holub

Holub is the only player on this list to have excelled on the offensive line and also at a defensive position for the Chiefs. In fact, he went beyond that, starting at his linebacker spot in one Super Bowl and starting at his center spot in another one, which is nothing short of amazing. The Schulenburg, Texas native played in Kansas City for eight seasons after a two-year run with the Dallas Texans.

He is also most known for being the first great center in club history, eventually making way for his successor and number six on this list, Jack Rudnay in 1970. Holub is also one of the most decorated players to ever come out of Texas Tech’s football program, as he got his number retired by the school in 1960. Adding to his list of accomplishments, the Red Raider legend was inducted into the Chiefs HOF in 1976.
