What's your Chiefs Mount Rushmore look like?

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

NFL Throwback just dropped a pretty neat video putting together every team's Mount Rushmore.

Here's what they put for the Chiefs, in no particular order.

1. Derrick Thomas
2. Tony Gonzalez
3. Travis Kelce
4. Patrick Mahomes

Thoughts? What would you change, if any?

EDIT - Forgot about the Honorable Mentions.
Len Dawson
Bobby Bell
Willie Lanier
Will Shields
Buck Buchanan
Johnny Robinson
Emmitt Thomas

I vaguely remember a KC sports one, but not a Chiefs specific one. If it is a duplicate, my apologies.

All 4 should be Mahomes.

PMII
Kelce
Dawson
DT. ....It should probably be Bell over DT, but I can't unattached from seeing DT in person.

or

L Hunt
Reid
PMII
Dawson


I'd really like to see PMII and Kelce retire as a Chief before carving the stone.

Lenny over Gonzalez.

I love DT as much as anyone, but does he really deserve a spot over some of the other all time great LBs on that list? Hell an argument that Chris Jones deserves a spot over DT. Jones was instrumental in each SB win and probably the #2 or #3 most important player during the run. It's either Kelce or Jones at #2. Jones is almost a lock for the HOF.

It might be unpopular, but Jones is more deserving of a spot than DT and Thomas was my favorite player growing up.

Mount Rushmore is made up of leaders, not soldiers:

Clark Hunt, Lamar Hunt, Len Dawson, Patrick Mahomes

There's way too many correct answers to this question.

DT had 0 tackles in 10 playoff games. Not Mt. Rushmore material.

Thomas is a top 5-10 player of all time for this franchise, but he's closer to 10 than 5. I think his death is a big reason for people putting him on the Mt. Rushmore of this franchise.

Patrick Mahomes
Len Dawson
Travis Kelce
Derrick Thomas

I'm putting Reid in over both of the Hunts if we're not going with just players.

I'm assuming you mean CJ. Jones may not have had the flashy stats, but he was a absolute beast and was the reason other players were able to get sacks. His pressures and batted balls basically won us multiple games including at least 1 SB. He took over the Bengals playoff game and was instrumental in that win. He did more for this team and won more than DT.

No, Derrick Thomas had zero tackles in the 10 playoff games he played. CJ is clearly the more valuable player of the two.

[New World Order]

Lamar, Andy Reid, Mahomes, Len Dawson

As a qualifier, I think a player needs to be with a franchise for the vast majority of his career to be considered. As an example, Patriots should not be claiming Randy Moss.

Mahomes and Reid are quickly approaching GOAT conversation for their respective positions. Kelce is likely already there. How many other franchises have 3+ players/coaches you could legitimately claim as top 2-3 all-time at their positions?

Chiefs:
Kelce, Mahomes, Reid

Ravens:
Lewis, Reed, Ogden

49ers:
Rice, Montana, Sanders, Lott, Owens

Patriots:
Belichick, Brady, Gronk

Bears:
Payton, Butkus, Singletary, Hester (return specialist)

Steelers, Packers, Cowboys, Giants have a storied history, not certain they have 3+ players in GOAT conversation at their respective position though.

Man.....this is getting kinda tough.

Mahomes and Kelce are probably easy, same with DT.

Chris is making his case, but he still has the pre Mahomes times where he didn't do anything in playoff games.

I mean, we all loved DT but....why should he get in over CJ?
