At least one former Chiefs player is joining the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year.
On Saturday, defensive back Johnny Robinson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Still out was word on whether Tony Gonzalez, the great Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons tight end, would be joining him. Gonzalez would be a first-ballot Hall of Famer if elected Saturday.
“Johnny Robinson has been deserving for almost 50 years. So we’re so glad that he has an opportunity,” team CEO and owner Clark Hunt told the Star.
Robinson received the hallowed hotel room-door knock from Hall of Fame president David Baker Saturday afternoon.
