That also means that today’s grid has asked for players who have played for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Chiefs and the Bengals.
Carlos Dunlap
Carlos Dunlap played his collegiate football at the University of Florida. As a Gator, he was instrumental in their 2008 BCS National Championship win and was named the Defensive Most Valuable Player of the 2009 BCS National Championship Game.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. With the Bengals, Dunlap quickly developed into one of the team’s premier pass rushers, setting the franchise record (at the time) for sacks in a season with 13.5. He was with the Bengals for a decade, becoming a two-time Pro Bowler during his tenure.
In 2020, Dunlap was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, where he continued to showcase his pass-rushing skills and provided a veteran presence on their defensive line. After a year and a half in Seattle, Dunlap found his way to the Kansas City Chiefs and picked up a Super Bowl ring in 2022.

Larry Johnson
Larry Johnson was drafted 27th overall by the Chiefs in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Penn State. During his time with the Chiefs, Johnson earned two Pro Bowl selections in 2005 and 2006 and was named a First-Team All-Pro in 2005. In 2006, he set an NFL record with 416 carries in a single season.
Johnson was known for his powerful running style, agility, and ability to break tackles. He amassed over 6,000 rushing yards and scored 55 rushing touchdowns during his career.
Despite his on-field accomplishments, Johnson faced several off-field issues, including legal problems and suspensions, which ultimately impacted his career. After leaving the Chiefs, Johnson had brief stints with the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Football Team, and Miami Dolphins before exiting the NFL.
Vaughn Booker
Vaughn Booker was drafted in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Booker spent four seasons with the Chiefs from 1994 to 1997. He then played for the Green Bay Packers from 1998 to 1999, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000 to 2001.
While Vaughn Booker may not have received major awards or won a Super Bowl during his NFL career, he was a solid player known for his work on the defensive line.
Booker started in 79 games over his 9-year career. He recorded over 200 tackles, 14.5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles over that time.
