5 best individual seasons from Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receivers in NFL history

The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the greatest dynasties in modern NFL history. The Chiefs have dominated the past decade, and are perennial Super Bowl contenders.

A reason for the Chiefs' dominance is their ability to find top-notch wide receivers, and pair them with elite QBs. That has produced highlight reel plays and gaudy stats for both wideouts and QBs in Kansas City.

With that in mind, let's look at five of the finest individual seasons by wide receivers in Kansas City Chiefs history.
