The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history and have posted countless league records and produced several football legends.
Since the Chiefs joined the NFL in 1960, 25 of Kansas City’s players have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, the eighth-most in league history.
Now that number may rise even higher.
On Tuesday, 25 players were named semifinalists for the Hall of Fame Class of 2025, including former Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen and linebacker Terrell Suggs.
Allen was a member of Kansas City’s defensive front from 2004-2007 before making his way to Minnesota, Chicago, and Carolina where he finished his career.
Suggs was a member of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers in 2019.
