Patrick Mahomes in '18: "Mr. Dawson is the backbone of this organizatioan. He brought a Super Bowl. To try and carry on that tradition, hopefully bring a Super Bowl to #ChiefsKingdom, is something I'll strive to do."

As a player, Len Dawson was a Super Bowl winner & Hall of Famer. For his work in TV, he received the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award.
At his core, Dawson was the ninth of 11 children in a loving Ohio family, whose impact on the many lives he touched will never be forgotten. pic.twitter.com/ROLan8MUrD
