A Look At The Kansas City Chiefs All-Time Defensive Greats
This is a follow-up to the bit posted yesterday about the all-time greats on the offensive side of the ball. Again, this is from Pro Football Reference which has developed a formula intended to accurately identify which player was the best in the life of the organization at each particular position.
Now, for the defense:
| DT | Buck Buchanan | 101 |
| DT | Dan Saleauma | 57 |
| DE | Neil Smith | 80 |
| DE | Jerry Mays | 80 |
| ILB | Willie Lanier | 98 |
| ILB | Sherrill Headrick | 52 |
| OLB | Derrick Thomas | 105 |
| OLB | Bobby Bell | 105 |
| CB | Emmitt Thomas | 78 |
| CB | Albert Lewis | 69 |
| S | Johnny Robinson | 92 |
| S | Deron Cherry | 78 |
From our current squad I would like to obviously see Dorsey become the type of player to justify the #5 overall pick. What do you think? Is this a good foundation for the best Chiefs defense of all time?

Secondary
Would definitely like to see some of our current secondary make it… Flowers and Pollard.

YELLOW flag......5 yards, 12 men on the field...
too many great defensive players to narrow it down to just 11, I agree….
I love Albert Lewis also, but how about Dale Carter? Can’t refute Emmitt Thomas on the other corner spot, because he is ….ahemmm ….in the HOF (I love it) after all. How’d did numbers narrow it down to Lewis, among Carter, Hasty, Lewis, & Ross?
