#58

Derrick Thomas is to be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame this weekend Long overdue. A complex human being, but an absolute animal on the football field. He died prematurely after an automobile accident on icy roads paralyzed him, and he later developed a blood clot which went to his heart. Seat belts would have saved him (and probably spared him from serious injury).

He was worth the price of admission to Chiefs games for a decade.
