He was awesome, as were a lot of Chiefs from that era (my God the whole line!!), but he and they were all part of something that didn't work in the end.

And the HoF should be about individual achievement, and it really is, but there's a cloud that'll alway hang over those who didn't play as members of a team that achieved post-season success.

It really sucks for him, it really does. He really did typify the best of what a football play should be.
