Under-Appreciated Chiefs
Since we're still a couple weeks from training camp and haven't had much to talk about with Chiefs, I thought I'd see which players in Chiefs history you think may not have been fully appreciated while they played here. Here's three that come to mind for me. Who comes to mind for you, and make a case:

Nomination #1:
Jim Kearney: Safety. From Prairie View A&M Texas.
Played twelve seasons in the National Football League and the American Football League from 1965-1976. He started in Super Bowl IV for the Kansas City Chiefs. In 1972 he tied an NFL record by returning four interceptions for touchdowns. He wore jersey number 46 while with the Chiefs. Played strong safety for the Chiefs for Nine Seasons (1967-1975). 23 career interceptions, 5 for TDs. Had 8 career fumble recoveries. Was originally an 11th round pick by the Detroit Lions in 1965.

I think Jim Kearney was over-shadowed by Emmit Thomas (in the HOF) and Johnny Robinson (who SHOULD be in the HOF) while playing for KC. On another team, he would have been a stand alone star in the secondary.

Nomination #2:
JT Smith: Wide receiver and returner from North Texas Univ. Played for KC from 1978-1984. Was All Pro for KC in 1980. Returned two punts for TDs in 1979 and 1980. Also made All Pro with the Phoenix Cardinals their first year in Phoenix (1988). Had 10,287 all purpose yards in his career.

Smith was arguably KC's greatest all time kick returner (close contest with Noland Smith) until Vanover came along. Now he'd probably be third behind Dante Hall and Vanover. He was an excellent returner during a time when Arrowhead had artificial turf, and very crappy teams.

Nominaton #3:
Kevin Ross: Cornerback. Nicknamed "Rock", From Temple University. KC's 7th round pick in 1984 draft. Started as a rookie. Had 38 career interceptions and scored 2 TDs. Played for KC from 1984-1993. Made the Pro Bowl in 1989 and 1990. Played at 5-9" 185 lbs.

This guy hit like a mack truck. He was so short, teams would try to throw in front of Ross, until the receivers were so beaten up they quit curling up in front of him. His very first regular season game he got owned by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he quickly recovered to become a great bump and run defender. He was overshadowed for fame by Deron Cherry and Albert Lewis, but was a critical part of the Chiefs pass defense in the 1980s. That secondary was one of the best in the NFL in its prime.

Its shame you couldn't put DeBerg's leadership and toughness with Grbac's talent.

He also picked up the blocked punt against the steelers in the playoff win, and had a decent return to shorten the field.

That was Fred Jones that picked up the blocked punt not Todd McNair.
