Hall of Fame Vote Tomorrow! Johnny Robinson & Tom Flores!

Nod the official Superbowl IV highlight film, “He’s in there!” Chiefs Johnny Robinson crosses the hallowed goal line of the ‘Hall of Fame’ – well done and LONG overdue (as are several other worthy but un-enshrined AFL guys, same.)

That makes 6 Chiefs enshrined Hall of Fame their stellar 1969 defense (yeah they were
pretty good) – S Robinson, CB Emmitt Thomas, LB Bobby Bell, LB Willie Lanier, DT Buck Buchanan and DT Curley Culp. Good too was DE Jerry Mays, LB Jim Lynch, DE Aaron Brown, S Jim Kearney and CB Jim Marsalis.

For perspective, that ties them with the Green Bay Packers Superbowl I defensive half dozen: LB Ray Nitschke, LB Dave Robinson, CB Herb Adderley, DE Willie Davis, DT Henry Jordan and S Willie Wood. Both KC and GB had two each: defensive lineman, linebackers and defensive backs. Comparison, the 1970’s Steelers had 4 players on defense: DT Joe Greene, LB Jack Lambert, LB Jack Ham and CB Mel Blount.
