The All-Time Chiefs Single-Season Team

[Rain Man]

Random offseason thread. I looked at the AV value that pro-football-reference applies to players and picked out the highest single-season AVs in Chiefs history. (Sorry, returners not available since they don't define that as a position.)

I let players move to similar positions, e.g., FS and SS, LG and RG, HB and FB, etc.

Here's the first-string team. It's a 3-4.

RB Priest Holmes 2002
RB Abner Haynes 1962
QB Patrick Mahomes 2018
WR Otis Taylor 1966
WR Tyreek Hill 2018
TE Travis Kelce 2018
OT Willie Roaf 2004
G Brian Waters 2004
C Tim Grunhard 1991
G Will Shields 2002
OT Mitchell Schwartz 2018
K Jan Stenerud 1969
P Jerrel Wilson 1968

CB Albert Lewis 1989
CB Emmitt Thomas 1974
OLB Derrick Thomas 1991

ILB Willie Lanier 1973
ILB Sherrill Headrick 1962
DE Jared Allen 2007

Here's the second team. It's a 4-3.

This concludes the thread. You may comment on it if you wish, or you can merely think about it while walking in the woods.
