Lots of personalities here. My picks:
#1 - Dan Saleaumua, of course. Is he not #1 on anybody's list? Good player, fun to watch, and seemed to be likeable.
#2 - Chester McGlockton. Maybe a bit of a curve ball here, but he was a Raiders pro bowler and then asked to join the Chiefs in the middle of a game. How much better does it get than that? And yeah, he jumped offsides a lot, but overall he was pretty solid.
#3 - Jimmy Wilkerson. Another curve ball. I liked Jimmy as a player and always wanted him to get more time. It seemed like he was very productive, but he could never get on the field for us.
Honorable mentions:
Leonard Griffin. An underrated player for us for several years. Not a world beater, but I liked him.
Curley Culp. I should pick Curley and he's a Hall of Famer, but he's just a little before my peak fanship time. I remember him as a Chief, but just barely.
Tank Tyler. Yeah, he was a bust. I feel responsible for that because I kept telling the Chiefs to draft him. I like to think that they took my advice and it was a bummer that he didn't work out. I thought he was pretty funny on Hard Knocks.
Ron Edwards. Solid dude, and underrated.
As a minor story about Aaron Brown, my father took me to a car dealership when I was seven or eight to meet then-quarterback Mike Livingston. It was a surprise, and I was so shocked and intimidated that I wouldn't say a word. So my dad was talking to Mike and I remember them having a conversation about the Aaron Brown trade. That's my main memory of Aaron Brown.
