Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Chargers and Chiefs.
Chase Daniel
Chase Daniel is an NFL quarterback known for his reliable presence as a backup. After a successful college career at Missouri, Daniel went undrafted in 2009 but was picked up by the New Orleans Saints.
He was part of the Super Bowl-winning team in his rookie year, although in a backup role to Drew Brees. Over his career, Daniel has also had stints with the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Los Angeles Chargers.
Having started only 5 games in his career, but with lifetime earnings topping $40 million, Daniel has become one of the most well-known backup quarterbacks in NFL history.
Melvin Ingram
Melvin Ingram was drafted in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, who later became the Los Angeles Chargers. Known for his pass-rushing abilities, Ingram became a critical component of the Chargers’ defense for nearly a decade.
He spent the majority of his career with the Chargers, from 2012 to 2020. During his tenure with the team, he was selected to the Pro Bowl three times, in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Ingram is celebrated for his ability to disrupt opposing offenses, racking up (to date) 57 sacks and 16 forced fumbles.
After leaving the Chargers, Ingram has had brief stops with multiple teams including the Chiefs, Steelers and Dolphins.

Shields would go on to play 9 seasons with the Chargers, starting 119 games, predominantly at Left Tackle. After his time in San Diego, he had short stops at the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.
During his time in San Francisco, Shields was part of the 1984 team that won the Super Bowl. While never a Pro Bowler, Shields had a lengthy, and successful, career playing a very demanding position.
