The year was 1989.
Tony Dungy had just left the Pittsburgh Steelers to join new head coach Marty Schottenheimer in Kansas City as the defensive backs coach.
When he arrived at One Arrowhead Drive, Dungy had some talent awaiting him in the backfield.
By 1989, veteran safety Deron Cherry had already been to six Pro Bowls (1983-88) and had been named an All-Pro five times (1983-86, 1988), while another safety, Lloyd Burruss, had also been to a Pro Bowl (1986).
