Oh...that's too much thinking...
The Chiefs had a bunch in the late sixties early seventies.
Len Dawson, Willie Lanier, Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan, Emmitt Thomas, Curly Culp, Johnny Robinson, Jan Stenerud.
I think they all played on the super bowl team would have to do more checking.

Trying to figure out the weakest and strongest Super Bowl champs ain’t easy.
I was thinking Phil Simms Giants but not sure.
Man, that is a tough question.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I miss three rivers stadium.
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!
Ignore list -Basebal21
Yep. Tom Flores was a backup on that team as well, though he was inducted as a coach and not as a player. Owner Lamar Hunt and head coach Hank Stram are in the HOF as well. A lot of people believe Jim Tyrer was the best OT of the decade but will never be inducted because of how his life ended.

I remember seeing that photo in an antique mall in Ohio about 20 years ago and didn't buy it. I regret that now.
No. 51 is Loren Toews. I played with him in High School and college. He is two years older than I am. RB and LB in high school at 6'01" 195 lbs. Northern California high school player of the year. All league in baseball and football.
Went to Cal and was turned into an LB. 7th round in 73 with the Steelers and stuck. First team all 20th Century Defensive team Stealers. 7 years later(1980) still driving same Volkswagen beetle he had in college. He still picked up his phone in San Jose in 2010. Wealthy, humble and a gentleman. Listed in the phone book.
Todd, there are some that think Otis Taylor belongs in the HOF also. Looking back I think KC won a lot of games with that defense because obviously they were more dominant than the offense even with Len at QB. Willie Lanier was always a favorite because I got to meet him and get his auto at an ALCO store in Larned, KS in like 1971 or 1972. I was in awe. He was a great FB player and a great man.
Yes very sad about what Tyrer did
@Darin - Not only Otis Taylor and Jim Tyrer, but Ed Budde, Jerry Mays and some say Fred Arbanas as well. That team was stacked. I got to speak with some of them while working on the Johnny Robinson HOF campaign. Incredible team and players that I think somehow gets overlooked in spite of all the HOF inductees.
