6. Casey Wiegmann, Center

Casey Wiegmann had two stints in Kansas City, and both were very successful. During his first run as a Chief, Wiegmann was part of one of the best offensive lines in NFL history. While running back Priest Holmes was known for his goal-line dives, many of them came up the middle. That is where Wiegmann’s blocking helped Holmes earn his fame.

Although Wiegmann’s first stint ended on bad terms, being released by voice mail by Carl Peterson, he returned to the Chiefs under a new regime. When Wiegmann returned to Kansas City in 2010, he was instrumental in anchoring an offensive line that helped the Chiefs lead the NFL in rushing yards. Wiegmann was the ultimate iron man, finishing his career with 175 consecutive starts and played more than 11,000 consecutive snaps.

Having previously played for the Colts, Jets and Bears, Wiegmann’s best years came in Kansas City. Wiegmann was voted to just one Pro Bowl in his career, coming in 2008 as a member of the Denver Broncos. Wiegmann’s skills were overshadowed by other elite offensive linemen he played with and certainly deserved more Pro Bowl and All-Pro bids.

Despite being undrafted coming out of Iowa, Wiegmann was one of the best centers in the NFL during his playing career.
