10. Marcus Allen, RB

Marcus Allen had a big hand in helping the Chiefs during the team’s 1993 season. He, alongside Joe Montana, helped the Chiefs reach the AFC Championship for the first time since the merger.

Yes, Allen’s best years did come with the Raiders. However, Allen made a big impact in Kansas City during the 90’s and has become one of the best running backs in franchise history.

Although he never rushed for more than 1,000 yards in a single-season as a member of the Chiefs, he was fourth in franchise history in rushing yards when he retired after the 1997 season. He led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 12 in his first season with the Chiefs. Allen finished his Chiefs career with 44 touchdowns, breaking the franchise record at the time.

The former Super Bowl MVP is asked often about his allegiance between the Chiefs and Raiders, but he says he roots for both and is neutral when they play each other. Allen was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003, the same year as former Chiefs coach and Super Bowl IV champion Hank Stram.

In addition to a Super Bowl MVP, Allen won the NFL MVP and the Offensive Player of the Year in 1985. The former USC standout won the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1982 and has six Pro Bowls and three All-Pros to his name.
