Holmes, Priest
Holmes joined the Chiefs five years into his NFL career and had four of his seven seasons in KC cut short due to injury. Still, the RB was able to score 83 touchdowns in a Chiefs uniform, including 48 scores in the 2002 (21) and 2003 (27) seasons.
In 2004, Holmes scored 14 touchdowns in eight games, a sign of how dangerous he was on the ground.
Tony Gonzalez, legend
Few franchises have been as fortunate at the TE position as the Chiefs have. Gonzalez, who earned nine All-Pro nods during his time in Kansas City, scored 76 times over 12 seasons with the franchise.
Unsurprisingly, Gonzalez was called to the Hall of Fame, and he remains the gold standard that many TEs aspire to reach.

Tyreek Hill's run
While it may have seemed brief, Hill spent six seasons with the Chiefs after the franchise selected him in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He did it all as a rookie, scoring six receiving touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns, and three return touchdowns to reach double digits in Year 1.
Over the next five seasons, Hill added 55 more touchdowns to his tally, placing himself among the top five.
Charles runs
The Chiefs took Charles in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft, but he scored only one receiving touchdown in Year 1. He heated up in Year 2, rushing for seven touchdowns and adding another receiving touchdown, along with a kick return touchdown.
Charles’ career season came in 2013, when he earned First-Team All-Pro honors with 19 total touchdowns. In his final season in Kansas City, Charles added one more touchdown over three games, finishing his career with 64 touchdowns in 103 games.
