There is only one person in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs franchise to wear #28: RB Abner Haynes.
Haynes played for the Chiefs/Texans from 1960 to 1965. Coming out of North Texas in 1960, Haynes was the #1 overall AFL draft pick.
In that first season, Haynes led the league in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns. He was the AFL's Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in 1960.
"He was a franchise player before they talked about franchise players," praised Hank Stram. "He did it all -- rushing, receiving, kickoff returns, punt returns. He gave us the dimension we needed to be a good team in Dallas."
Here are his career stats with the Kansas City Chiefs, from Pro Football Reference:
