Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]
This is just some random Instagram user’s ranking of Chiefs greats in tiers.
Main question is, where would we put Mahomes at this point? Can you identify every Chief pictures? Any players you’d move up or down a tier?
Hoo boy, that's a puzzle. I wish I could zoom in more.
Tier 1: DT and TG, though that doesn't look like DT.
Tier 2: Shields, Dawson, and Mahomes
Tier 3: Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan, Kelce, Bobby Bell
Tier 4: Emmitt Thomas, Johnny Robinson, Willie Roaf, Tyreek Hill, Otis Taylor
Tier 5: Curley Culp, Jan Stenerud, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
Tier 6: ?, ?, Christian Okoye, ?, Jerry Mays, ?, ?, ?
Art Still, Albert Lewis, Deron Cherry, Gary Barbaro, Ed Budde, Jim Tyrer, Abner Haynes, Brian Waters, Priest Holmes, Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry, Dante Hall, Tony Richardson, Derrick Johnson, and Chris Jones should all be candidates. Anyone recognize them? [Reply]

That IG person clearly has no clue what he is talking about. No issues with TG or DT being at the top tier, but to not have Mahomes there baffles the mind. He has done more in three years than any player has ever done in the history of this franchise. [Reply]

I'm pretty sure third from the left tier 5 is Jamaal Charles. Fourth from the left tier 5 looks like Priest Holmes, maybe? And maybe far right tier 5 is Brian Waters?
Far left tier 6 looks like Tamba Hali. Far right tier 6 is Houston, second from right tier 6 is Eric Berry and third from right tier 6 is Derrick Johnson. [Reply]

I think that is Montana in the middle of the second row. I zoomed in on the picture from the 3 stacked dots on the upper right of the computer screen. Dawson is in Tier 4, second from left.
The helmet on Montana is not from the era Dawson played in. The one in Tier 4 is from Dawson's era. [Reply]
