who are the players through the years that you would have as lifetime Chiefs? Not the players like Neil Smith who kinda are, but the guys who played elsewhere first, but really had their run in KC. for me, Priest, and Joe Phillips top the list...

OK,
I'll nominate Willie Lanier because I had lunch with him many years ago in Richmond, VA where #63 was working as a stock broker at the time (perhaps still?). Anyway, besides being one of my favorite Chiefs of all time, Willie was great to talk with, get his opinions of the league and share some common ground as it relates to family and problems which I won't go into.
I do recall Willie speaking fondly of the Chief's LB trio at that time of he, Bell, and 'the kid from Notre Dame'. Good stuff.
