Chiefs legends Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry teased as Hall of Fame candidates
The Kansas City Chiefs have had several players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, and could add two more to the list in 2024.
Two of the team’s most cherished legends, running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry, will be eligible for the ballot next year and were teased as potential selections by ESPN’s senior NFL insider Adam Schefter on Twitter.

While neither player was on Kansas City’s Super Bowl rosters in 2019 or 2022, both helped lay the foundation for the success that the Chiefs have found in recent years.
Charles was among the most dominant runners of his generation and is among the NFL’s all-time leaders in yards per attempt. A homerun hitter, Charles was known for his exceptional speed and shiftiness that made opposing defenders tremble every time he touched the ball.
Berry, on the other hand, was a hard-hitting safety who was an absolute menace in Kansas City’s secondary from 2010 until 2018. He overcame a cancer diagnosis in 2014 to continue his career with the Chiefs and cement his place as one of the team’s most influential leaders until his retirement.
