Any doubt the equipment manager is a Reid guy?
In my brief stint as a Worlds or Fun company courier you wound up doing a lot of currier work for the Chief being we were close to the airport. Bobby Yarborough was always getting stuff in to try out from manufacturers. It would come to Lamar's underground storage and I would be tasked with getting it to Bobby. He was a hell of a dude and also doubled as trainer as he taped most the players ankles and such. He designed a lot of stuff including Willie Lanier's extra stip of cushion on his helmet. I asked him why he did that he said because he suffered a subdural hematoma in his first year with Chiefs.
Here is a short interview with Bobby with interesting Chiefs tidbits.
