Albert Lewis was criminally underrated in his own right. I'm not sure he's a HoFer, but he's close. If I were to try to find a Sneed comp from Chiefs corners, Lewis would be the guy.
And I'll ride or die with Dale Carter man. Probably die - the guy was a loose cannon. But that guy was as dynamic as any CB I've seen this side of Deion Sanders. His off-field shit and inconsistency (largely due to risk-taking) kept him from being recognized for how truly amazing he was at his peak, but Carter from 1994 to 1997 (and specifically in 1995 and 1996) was absolutely a HoF caliber player.
I think McDuffie can get up there with Thomas and Lewis - possibly even exceed one or both of them. And I think Sneed can get up to/past Carter but won't have the duration to get to Thomas or Lewis.
I think it's fair to say that we may have 2 of the top 5 CBs in Chiefs history on this squad (and in McDuffie, perhaps someday our best ever) but that book's yet to be written. And I don't think there's a chance that Sneed surpasses what Thomas or Lewis did.

Forgot about Emmitt Thomas he was fantastic.
He's in the HOF but that was being measured as the talent level at the time. The CB's in this era are sooo much better than back then, just like it is at all positions.
Carter could have been the guy and was at times but was erratic his whole career.
