Another post for #TBT . . . Here's the team and locals offering their fondest memories of one of the most beloved players in Chiefs history.
Real talk . . .
Anybody who met this guy absolutely LOVED him. Westport would light up with good vibes back in the day when he would show up for a few hours. He represented a bygone era when locals actually had a chance at seeing a superstar player up close & personal and maybe even exchanging a few pleasantries.
Check this description and a link to an impressive photo montage of the beloved local legend . . .
Today, on the 24th anniversary of his death, Chiefs players are preparing for Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. In his honor, we will call it Super Bowl 58 — as we remember one of the greatest players in Chiefs history.

When I was at Green Bay, we had a chance to come back and play the Chiefs. And I think he set an NFL sack record that day.
