RIP Joe Delaney

One of the bravest and best people in sports history.

Basic Training Ft Jackson, SC. Sad times. He was a light for the team.

The only jersey I own.

I had the sad's in my heart that day. :( :deevee:

RIP Joe. Never a bigger hero in Kansas City Chiefs history.

Joe was a real hero.

HERO!

41 years?!?!?

Holy shit.......

The Chiefs dark years were indeed very dark.

37 Forever

I am the same age as Joe would have been. I have a photo of him at a team promo shoot, wearing his red jersey with no pads, and he's wearing Converse All Stars, leather, white with red stars. I have a pair just like them. Pacheco is somewhat like Delaney, although Delaney was faster -he was close to Tyreek fast- and had better vision to find a crease. He would have been right there with Sweetness and Barry Sanders had he lived. He and Mack Lee Hill were the most tragic running back losses in Chiefs history.
