RIP Abner Hayes
Chiefs great from before my time. I remember my dad talking about watching him run. Seems like the Grim Reaper has been busy today

I could have sworn he died long ago. Who was the guy (RB?) who died on the operating table in the early days of the franchise?

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know that Abner was still alive. I wonder why he's never been involved in alumni events. He was before my time, so did he leave with negative feelings or something? He was our team's first big star, and he's gotten lost in team lore.

I also remember seeing a Showtime special on the history of the AFL and it was mentioned there also. I think you can still see it on YouTube. |

I was 6 or y when he played those 2 years in KC after the Texans moved to KC. Sadly I remember Chris Burford more than Abner. At that age, I was all focused receivers for some reason.
I believe he made a few Alumni day during Marty's coaching days he was also inducted in the Chiefs HOF and on the ring of honor. |
