Not one, but two former Chiefs are joining the Hall of Fame.
On Saturday, tight end Tony Gonzalez and defensive back Johnny Robinson became the 12th and 13th former Chiefs to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Tony G, if there’s ever somebody deserving of being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, it’s Tony,” team CEO and owner Clark Hunt told the Star. “And then Johnny Robinson has been deserving for almost 50 years. So we’re so glad that he has an opportunity.”
The pair, who received the hallowed hotel room-door knock from Hall of Fame president David Baker Saturday afternoon, were chosen from an 18-member finalist class by 48 selectors during an all-day deliberation process in Atlanta ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl LIII between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.
