KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Former Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen is among 14 first-year eligible players for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Like the others, Allen last played in the 2015 season. Allen was a fourth-round draft choice by the Chiefs in 2004 and had 43 sacks in four seasons along with 14 forced fumbles and 230 tackles. A first-team All-Pro in the 2007 season, Allen was then traded to the Vikings with a sixth-round draft pick for the 17th overall pick, a pair of third-round picks and a sixth-rounder. Allen is one of nine former Chiefs on the list of Modern Era nominees for the Hall of Fame’s class of 2021. Here are the others: G Brian Waters: A five-time Pro Bowler in his 11 seasons with the Chiefs (2000-10), Waters was twice a first-team All-Pro. DE Neil Smith: In nine seasons with the Chiefs (1988-96), Smith recorded 85 1/2 sacks and had 104 total in his career. Smith made five Pro Bowls with the Chiefs and was first-team All-Pro in 1993. DB Albert Lewis: A four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro in 11 seasons with the Chiefs (1983-93). He intercepted 38 passes, forced seven fumbles and recovered 12 fumbles. RB Priest Holmes: Rushed for 6,070 yards (second most in Chiefs history) over seven seasons. He was a three-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler in Kansas City (2001-07). Holmes also rushed for 76 touchdowns with the Chiefs. K Nick Lowery: Lowery is the Chiefs’ all-time leader in points (1,466) and made a franchise-best 329 field goals, while missing just four of his 483 extra-point attempts while in KC (1978-93). DB James Hasty: Had 21 interceptions and three touchdowns while making two Pro Bowls in six seasons with the Chiefs (1995-2000). QB Dave Krieg: Played two of his 19 seasons with the Chiefs. Krieg was 13-8 as a starter in 1992-93. He appeared in three playoff games with KC. DE Leslie O’Neal: Played the final two of his 13 NFL seasons with the Chiefs (1998-99).

Calichief 3,016 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hasty was an all timer at DB Waters May get in one day. I always was of the opinion he was overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Priest Holmes is interesting. He has more yards than Terrell Davis, but since he didn't get to a superbowl as the starter I doubt he gets in. He has a ring with the Ravens, but not sure they will think that's enough since he's wasn't the main guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 21 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Really that is a good list. Question is who gets on in?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I don’t think any of these guys make it. If Priest was healthy 3 or 4 more years and got the reps Larry Johnson did, I bet he would be HOF at same level of production. His TD pose as he crossed the endzone is classic.

Burpo The Mad Clown 5,555 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Lewis, Waters and Lowery should walk right through the door. They deserve to be in. The others, meh. NCChief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I really like Holmes but not that realistic to see him go in, the same goes for Waters. He didn't bounce back at a top level after the all-pro line was dissolved. Realistically I don't see any Chiefs making it this year besides Allen but who knows.

The horse collar tackle Holmes suffered in Denver likely keeps him out of the HOF. The resulting injury kept him out of the lineup long enough to miss the chance at 100 tds, which would have made him a shoe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
