KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome one of their newest receivers to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium Saturday in Hollywood Brown.

They’re turning to a former wide receiver to help get Chiefs Kingdom fired up.

Longtime Chief Dwayne Bowe will serve as the drum honoree in the Chiefs’ regular season home finale against the Houston Texans.

Bowe, 40, played eight seasons in Kansas City after being drafted by the club in the 1st round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of Louisiana State University.

Bowe was a consistent presence on Chiefs teams between 2007 and 2014, catching 532 passes for 7,155 yards and scoring 44 touchdowns. His best season came in 2010 when he made the Pro Bowl and earned second-team All-Pro honors.

He would play a final season in 2015 with the Cleveland Browns before retiring from football.
