KC Chiefs: Games Played by Drafted Chiefs Quarterbacks

STEVE FULLER

52 GAMES, 31 STARTS

The Kansas City Chiefs were hoping they found their next quarterback of the future when they selected Steve Fuller in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft. Fuller was a top prospect out of Clemson, who the Chiefs made their starter in his rookie season.

Despite appearing in 52 games over the span of four years, Fuller went on to disappoint. He threw for 5,333 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions.

Fuller wasn’t good enough to be the full-time starter and the Chiefs found themselves putting Bill Kenney, a former 12th round pick by the Dolphins, into the starting spot over Fuller. The Chiefs were a bad team when Fuller was their quarterback, but perhaps the two went hand in hand.

Steve Fuller moved onto Chicago after four lackluster years in Kansas City, where he’d eventually be apart of the Bears 1985 Super Bowl team. He even started five games that year for the Bears, but only threw one touchdown to five interceptions.

Yet another first round draft pick that did not pan out for the Kansas City Chiefs, though he is ranked 11th all-time in passing yards for the organization. He also has a Super Bowl ring, so I guess Fuller had the last laugh in this situation.
