KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are set to honor electric former return man Dante Hall Sunday as part of events leading up to the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

During halftime, Hall, who was also known as the X-Factor and the human joystick, will be inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame in front of as many as 80 Chiefs alumni.

In five seasons with the club, Hall worked as both a wide receiver and a kick returner. As a receiver, Hall hauled in nine touchdowns, but he was a weapon for the team’s kickoff and punt return units.
