Hall of Fame Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson dies at 87 | AP News

Hall of Fame Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson dies at 87 | AP News

Met him many years ago at the agency where I was employed.  Quite unexpectedly.  Rounding the corner, was the VP who was sherpherding him around, and we met in the hallway.

"This is Len Dawson."

Young, vibrant and not as tall as I might have imagined.

Somewhat startled, me, not him, we shook hands, and he was on his way again.

I knew him years earlier as a Cleveland Browns backup but he was destined for much greater things.

RIP.
