[Kansas City Chiefs News]

The Kansas City Chiefs haven't had a true superstar No. 1 receiver since Otis Taylor. Taylor retired in 1975; just to give you some idea of how long that's been, the Vietnam War was going on, Bruce Springsteen had just recorded "Born to Run" and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won Best Picture.

Sure the Chiefs have had some good receivers since Taylor's departure. Some of them -- Andre Rison, Carlos Carson, J.T. Smith and Stephone Paige -- even made a Pro Bowl or two. Current Chiefs WR Eddie Kennison has also been a standout. None of these guys, however, were true No. 1 wideouts, and were all basically glorified No. 2 receivers... Enter first-round draft pick and former LSU star WR Dwayne Bowe.

Bowe has all the physical tools requisite of a No. 1 WR, and he could fill that role for the Chiefs the second he steps onto the field this upcoming preseason. Additionally, should he win that role and be effective in it, Bowe's influence will go beyond his statistics.

Bowe has potential, but isn't it a little early to be comparing him to Otis Taylor?

Having written an article or two for RealFootball365 in the distant past, the comparison comes with the territory...

Taylor was a one of a kind receiver in chief history...They should just be hoping that Bowe is a bit better than their last LSU reciever Kennison...
