The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t had as much success in the wide receiver department as other teams, but there have been some greats.

Just to clear things up early, tight end Tony Gonzalez will not be included in this list. If it’s pass catchers, he’s number one. But this will focus on the speedsters and deep threats (yes, the Chiefs have actually had some of those) who were most successful in Kansas City.
Much was made of the fact the Chiefs did not have even one touchdown from a receiver last season. While that was a dubious feat, Kansas City still had one of its top five all-time receivers on the roster last season.
The other four on the list are from different eras, but make no mistake, they all were aerial threats.
So on with the countdown, and maybe, just maybe, there is a guy on the current roster who will replace one of these players on the list one day.
