Priest Holmes did have a 1,000-yard season for the Baltimore Ravens in 1998. He combined for about 1,100 yards in the next two seasons and the Ravens saw him leave for Kansas City. The former Texas star exploded in KC, rushing for 1,555, a league-leading 1,620 and 1,420 yards in his first three seasons. He also scored 56 touchdowns on the ground in that time, 48 of them coming in seasons two and three as a Chief.
