As part of a special pregame ceremony, the Kansas City Chiefs will honor the career of former Pro Bowl S Jerome Woods prior to Sunday’s game vs. the San Diego Chargers. Woods spent 10 seasons in a Kansas City uniform, playing 128 games (105 starts) after joining the club as its first-round pick (28th overall) in the ‘96 NFL Draft.

“Jerome Woods played his entire career with the Chiefs, a rare occasion in today’s NFL,” Chiefs President Carl Peterson commented. “He was an excellent first-round draft choice who distinguished himself on and off the field. He was a Pro Bowl player who helped us win many football games over his time here. Chiefs alums were always important to our Founder Lamar Hunt. They continue the legacy he began back in ‘60 when he founded this franchise and the American Football League. We’re delighted to have Jerome with us and look forward to seeing him here at Arrowhead again.”

I mean, Woods had a couple good seasons. He went to the Pro Bowl ONCE. Are we going to be honoring Greg Wesley in five years?

I suppose it's no more pathetic than offering $25 seats to "teachers."

That's pretty much my line of thinking. It's not like they're putting him in the ring of fame or anything.

Woods and Tongue were pretty damn solid. I don't have any problem throwing him a bone. Hasty is still my all time favorite Chiefs DB. He seemed to never be out of position.

Like others, I don't see a problem with honoring Woods. I don't think the honors should merely be reserved for the big stars, but rather for anyone who made a good contribution to the team, or was with the team for 10 years or so. If we want to honor Greg Manusky or John Browning or Henry Marshall, I'm all for it.
