Chiefs Draft History: Which College Has Produced the Most Drafted Players?

A look back at all the Chiefs draft picks since 1967

In 1967, a system called the "common draft" was implemented for the AFL and NFL. In this system, the two leagues held a joint draft for college players. The common draft existed until 1969 as the AFL and NFL would officially merge in 1970.
