SCARIEST KANSAS CITY CHIEFS OF ALL-TIME

NUMBER 14 – PRIEST HOLMES, RB (2001-2007)

If you ever found yourself on defense against Priest Holmes at the goal line, you would understand how scary he was as a player. Holmes came to Kansas City in 2001 and amassed 4,500+ yards and over 55 touchdowns in his first three seasons.

These first three seasons included a league rushing yards title in 2001 and then a top finish in rushing touchdowns in 2002 and 2003. In 2003, Holmes scored 27 touchdowns. TWENTY-SEVEN! That is ten more than the league leader in rushing touchdowns in 2018, Todd Gurley.

Holmes was a tremendous talent who terrorized opposing defenses and was another guy, like Houston, who probably could’ve been haunting defenses for many more years had injuries not gotten the best of him.

NUMBER 13 – ERIC BERRY, S (2010-2018)

Eric Berry was scary good at football. He struggled with injuries throughout his career but was still able to garner best safety in the league conversations and was known as a ball hawk who opposing quarterbacks had to be aware of.

Berry led the league in interception return touchdowns twice, in 2017 was ranked as the NFL’s 13th best player, was a first-team All-Pro three times, and was selected as a Pro Bowler 5 times in his nine-year career.

He also played in less than two games in three of those seasons and just six games in another season. In other words, he was pretty much five for five at Pro Bowl seasons and three for five as a first-team All-Pro. Oh yeah, and he came back from beating Cancer in 2015 and earned comeback player of the years honors.

This man could not be stopped by anything and was feared across the league by opposing quarterbacks as the anchor of the Kansas City Chiefs secondary.
