Mike Garrett
This one is just about complete. Just a few final touches after I sit with it for a bit then this will be part of my Chiefs Legends series.
Michael Lockett Garrett (born April 12, 1944) won the Heisman Trophy in 1965 as a halfback for the USC Trojans. Garrett played 4 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1966-1970.
