Among non-Chiefs, James Brooks and Kenny Easley were two guys that I thought didn't get the credit they deserved. I was delighted to see Easley go into the Hall of Fame. He was the best strong safety the NFL has ever seen.

I can't find a good video for Brooks, sucks!

I totally agree he was a stud especially for his size. Far stronger than he should have been at that size.

Kenny Easley UCLA's Ronnie Lott, the guy was a ultra stud, I need a video.

Can't wait for the Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch thread...........

Maybe not underrated but most certainly forgotten by today's fans: Hugh McElhenny. I can remember watching this man in action for the 49ers back in the day; simply one of the best.

Hugh "The King" McElhenny, a Cali State hurdles champion.

He is and always has been the greatest white running back, and if not for sharing carries with the great Joe Perry his numbers would have been a lot better. The guy had it all.

Then there was "Jaguar" Jon Arnett a 24 foot long jumper at USC.

I think guys like Natrone Means, Rickey Watters, and Deuce McAlister are criminally underrated...

I agree with Watters and McAllister but,....Means only average 3.7 a carry for his career, and only had one season where he averaged 4,0.

Training camp legend from Northern Iowa that was all hype in Chiefs training camp back in the day.

Anyway I hate to give credit to a donk but Sammy Winder. The name alone makes you think of a guy with a bunch of spin moves.

Bearcats (whatever that is) no.2 all time single season rusher. I always thought his signing was some kind of local marketing.

Winder never had one season where he averaged over 3.9. But, he was tuff!
