KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Priest Holmes lost his all-time Kansas City Chiefs rushing record two weeks ago to Jamaal Charles, but he won’t lose his place in club history. Holmes will be inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame at halftime of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium.

Holmes rushed for 6,070 yards and scored 83 touchdowns during his seven seasons with the Chiefs from 2001 through 2007. His touchdowns total remains a team record.

Statistics aside, Holmes is a most deserving choice for the Chiefs' Hall of Fame. He was the perfect back for the offensive machine the Chiefs had when they were coached by Dick Vermeil. The Chiefs needed a versatile back, one who could run with vision and patience and allow the blockers to do their thing but also catch passes and protect the quarterback. Holmes could, and did, do all of that.

The Jets are an appropriate opponent to host for Holmes’ induction. He had one of his best game for the Chiefs during a 2002 game against the Jets in New York. He rushed 23 times for 152 yards and a touchdown and also caught nine passes for 81 yards and a score.

That touchdown, on a 19-yard pass from Trent Green with 34 seconds left, gave the Chiefs a 29-25 victory.
