Following a disappointing 2007 season, head coach Herm Edwards has taken bold steps to restock the talent on the KC roster. Glenn Dorsey and Brandon Albert provide immediate impact potential to support the leadership of Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez. While the play of Larry Johnson remains a question mark, the improved offensive line should allow him more yards per carry and more serious chances to break off those long runs. To return to the NFL playoffs, the Chiefs are going to have to get the most out of this nucleus of young talent. If they are able to harness this energy, Arrowhead Stadium could be rocking well into January.

Some Kansas City Chiefs history: Originally formed as the Dallas Texans in 1959 by owner Lamar Hunt, the Texans became a charter member of the AFL in 1960. Hank Stram was hired as the team's first head coach and within two years produced a powerful offense with quarterback Len Dawson and running backs Abner Hayes, and Curtis McClinton. The three stars led the Texans to the AFL title in 1962. Dawson was named the player of the year, McClinton rookie of the year, and Stram coach of the year.
