Jamaal Charles or Priest Holmes, two Chiefs from the Texas Longhorns’ stable of running backs.

Who ya got?

With the release of Charles by the Chiefs on Tuesday, the career of Kansas City’s greatest running back comes to a close. Or perhaps it closed a decade ago with the end of Holmes’ career.

The players rank 1-2 on the Chiefs’ career rushing list with Larry Johnson, Christian Okoye and Ed Podolak rounding out the top five.

Charles and Holmes rate a cut above. Holmes ran behind some of the greatest offensive lines in team history and his 76 rushing touchdowns are a team record.
