If your like me, when you think of a certain number, the name of a Chief who wore it immediately pops into your head. #58? (Derrick Thomas), #32? (Marcus Allen), #67? (Art Still), #20? (Deron Cherry) and so on.

In this column I’ve listed the greatest (in my opinion) Chiefs to ever wear each jersey number, from 1-99, they are all listed here. Some were rather easy (#16 Len Dawson), some were fairly difficult because a lot of great players wore that number (88, 89), and some were difficult because only average players wore it (Ray Crockett anyone?).

So stroll down memory lane with me and enjoy!
