    Ex Steeler but way more known for SB win with the KC Chiefs. Drafted out of Purdue back in 1957. Steelers kept him for 3 years. Maybe if we have kept him the 60 Steelers would have been better.

    RIP

    I used to love the show on HBO that Len Dawson and Nick Bonniconti(sp?) hosted.

    Epic memories from.my youth. Old AFL, no cable and only got NBC 12 put of Erie. Watched a lot of KC games in the late 60s, especially against the Raiders. Len was a good QB, but even a better human being.

    That 60's and early 70's Chiefs teams were loaded. Dawson, Mike Garrett, Otis Taylor, Fred Arbanas, JimTyrer and Ed Budde on offense. The defense was even better with Buck Buchanan, Jim Lynch, Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier and Johnny Robinson.
