Okay, this is a weak heat, but here goes:

#1 - Walter White. No one will remember him, but he came out of nowhere when the Chiefs were terrible, and was a very good player. I thought he had great potential, but I think he blew out a knee or something and disappeared pretty quickly. But he gave me great hope and enjoyment at a very dark time in Chiefs history.

#2 - Andre Rison. I feel guilty listing him since he was so objectionable off the field, and he had a terrible personality. But he gave me one of my all-time favorite moments as a Chief. That Grback to Rison play to win the game against the Raiders was magical. It was possibly the most ecstatic I've ever been in a Chiefs game. So I'll put up with the thug off the field in this heat.

#3 - Tony Moeaki. Like I said, it's a weak heat. But Moeaki made a play that stands up as one of the greatest catches in Chiefs history.

I should give an honorable mention to Elmo Wright, whose touchdown dance thrilled me as a child. But he was a little too early for a person my age.

I should list Carlos Carson, perhaps, because he made some exciting plays. But he tended to drive me nuts with dropped passes.

I have to mention that I'm rooting for Junior Hemingway to do well. I like the kid and he's got potential if he can just hang on to the ball.

Johnnie Morton deserves consideration, but he was a bit player in that offense, so not particularly notable.

And finally, I think Larry Parker got kind of hosed. He was the one who got in Gunther's doghouse with an unfortunate fumble on an otherwise good play. I think he got doghoused too strongly and it ruined his career.
