7. Percy Snow (1990): 13th Overall

Percy Snow is relatively low on this list due to his productive rookie season and an injury that was out of the hands of the Chiefs. Snow managed to get two sacks and an interception during his rookie season in 1990. His tackle totals are unknown as that stat was not available on NFL.com.

During the 1991 training camp, however, Snow was involved in an accident that placed him on IR for the entire season. Had he remained healthy, he was set to star with other great defenders like Neil Smith and Derrick Thomas. Due to the injury, head coach Marty Schottenheimer rode Snow a little harder and earned the ire of the young linebacker.

After returning from injury, Snow only started one game and did not register another stat for the remainder of his time with the Chiefs. After leaving Kansas City, Snow publicly criticized Schottenheimer while with the Chicago Bears. In just 10 games with his new team, Snow failed to impress and was out of the NFL the following year.

He tried to continue his career in the World League, but didn’t make much of an impact. Even though no one could have predicted the injury, the Chiefs could have drafted Emmitt Smith instead.
