Henry Marshall played all 12 of his seasons in Kansas City, and while he never had a 1,000-yard season, he was a model for consistency.

Until his final year in 1987 where he played only 12 games and started none, Marshall had at least 20 receptions and 300-plus yards in a season.

His 1984 campaign of 62 receptions, 912 yards and four touchdowns goes in the books as his best.

1982 would have been had he played more than nine games due to an injury. In just a little more than half a season Marshall hauled in 40 passes for 549 yards and three touchdowns.

He scored at least one touchdown in every season where he played at least nine games, including a career-high six in both 1980 and ’83. His numbers could have been much higher had he not missed 28 games over the course of his career to injury.

An all-around athlete, Marshall rushed for 257 yards and two scores in his career as well.

Hey may not go down as one of the flashiest receivers in team history, but he certainly got the job done year in, and year out.
