Kansas City Chiefs: All-Decade Team for 2010s
2010S ALL-DECADE TEAM – WIDE RECEIVER
STARTERS: TYREEK HILL, DWAYNE BOWE
ALTERNATE: JEREMY MACLIN
Historically, the Chiefs wide receivers haven’t been very good and that came to light when compiling the 2010s all-decade team.
Tyreek Hill would be the WR1 and has 281 catches, 4115 yards and 32 touchdowns in his four seasons as a Chief. Hill is also a dynamic returner and is a 4x Pro-Bowler and 2x First Team All-Pro. Again, Hill is the more talented wide receiver, but it was tough to put him ahead of a longer tenured Chief.
At WR2, we have Dwayne Bowe, who is the franchise all-time leader in catches by a wide receiver, and second in yards. While Tyreek Hill is a more talented player and will probably break many, if not all, of the Chiefs receiving records, Bowe was doing great things before anyone even know who Hill was.
D-Bowe was a one time Pro Bowler and a one time 2nd Team All-Pro. He had 532 catches, 7,155 yards, and 44 touchdowns for the Chiefs, and he even led the entire league in touchdown catches with 15 touchdown grabs in 2010.
Rounding out the list for the Chiefs is Jeremy Maclin, who may have only had two seasons with the team, but did wonderful things in those two seasons. He caught 200 passes for 1,624 yards, and ten touchdowns. He also made one Pro Bowl with the team and had over 1,000 yards receiving in 2015, a year after the team went an entire season without any of their receivers finding the end zone.
Maclin gets the nod here as the WR3, as the position hasn’t been kind to the Chiefs in the history of the team, let alone this decade. This unit might not be as scary as a lot of other teams’ all decade wideouts, but considering how bad the position was, Chiefs fans should be happy with this corp.
