15. DE Art Still (1978-1987)

There were very few individual highlights from the Chiefs during the ’70s and ’80s, but Art Still was one of those very few playmakers. Still, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro player, ended his career with 74 sacks, the most in franchise history at the time. Since his retirement, Still’s 74 sacks is now the fifth most in Chiefs history.

14. C Casey Wiegmann (2007-2007, 2010-2011)

Part of one of the best offensive lines in NFL history, Casey Wiegmann got the least amount of attention from that group. Running back Priest Holmes was known for his goal-line touchdown drives straight up the middle, and a big part of that was due to Wiegmann’s blocking, allowing Holmes to do his famous touchdown dives.

After spending two seasons in Denver and earning a Pro Bowl invite, Wiegmann returned to Kansas City for a second stint in 2010. He helped the Chiefs rank first in the NFL in rushing yards in his return. He finished his career playing more than 11,000 consecutive snaps.

13. C Tim Grunhard (1990-2000)

Similar to Casey Wiegmann, Tim Grunhard was another underrated center who played for the Chiefs. Spending his entire 11-year career in Kansas City, Grunhard was an ironman, starting 164 games. Grunhard started 126 consecutive games for the Chiefs, including the playoffs, from 1993 through midway through the 2000 season. Grunhard received Pro Bowl honors in 1999.

12. KR Dante Hall (2000-2006)

There is a strong case to be made that Dante Hall might be the most electrifying player in Chiefs history. Hall’s presence as a return specialist changed the game. He broke the NFL record for most consecutive games with a punt or kickoff return for a touchdown, doing so in four games from Weeks 2 through 5 in 2003. In a 10-game span from late 2002 to early 2003, Hall scored 10 touchdowns on special teams.

Hall scored a touchdown on special teams late in the fourth quarter in 2003 against the Ravens and again a week later against the Broncos, helping the Chiefs win and stay undefeated at that time. During Hall’s crazy run early in 2003, some thought he was worthy of being part of the league’s MVP discussion. He ranks in the top 10 all time in NFL history in kick return yards, kick return touchdowns and punt return touchdowns.

11. OLB Justin Houston (2011-2018)

Justin Houston quickly became a dominant force as a passrusher, giving the Chiefs a powerful two-man pass rush alongside Tamba Hali. Houston’s 78.5 sacks are the fourth most in Chiefs history, and his biggest season came in 2014 when he recorded 22 sacks, tying second for most sacks in a single season in NFL history.

Houston is tied for fifth in franchise history in forced fumbles with 14. Still active, and still finding success outside of Kansas City, Houston has four Pro Bowl honors and one All-Pro honor to his name
