Chiefs legend Jan Stenerud officially has company in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
For only the second time in history, a pure kicker will be enshrined in Canton, as Morten Andersen – who was briefly a Chief during his 25-year career – was part of the seven-member class elected to the Hall by 48 selectors during an eight-hour meeting Saturday.
Andersen, the NFL’s all-time leading scorer, finally made it in his fourth straight year as a finalist and fifth year of eligibility.
Andersen, who spent the 2002 and 2003 seasons with the Chiefs, played for six teams across 25 seasons in the league.
