506. "I consider myself a blue-collar guy. I never allowed people to out-work me." Danan Hughes is a former MLB player , NFL player and broadcaster for the KC Chiefs Radio network.

All of his life Danan Hughes played multiple sports – football, basketball and baseball.  It was in his second year in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system and just a year removed from being a third-round draft pick. Weeks earlier in 1993, the Kansas City Chiefs had made him their seventh-round draft pick. Hughes pursued pro football, rising from practice squad member to team captain of the Kansas City Chiefs over a six-year career in the National Football League. And it's why the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame proudly inducted Hughes with the Class of 2022. As a Kansas City Chie,f Danan played from 1993 to 1998 as a wide receiver and punt returner, and was voted a team captain in his second through fifth seasons. Overall, he played in 85 games in an era when the Chiefs were a combined 62-27 and won three AFC West Division championships. Although Hughes contributed solidly as a wide receiver, his strong special teams play is what set the foundation for his career. Since retiring, he has gone into broadcasting. He has been a part of the Big Ten Network's & ESPN's baseball and football coverage since 2008. He also has been a mainstay on the Chiefs' local pregame and postgame shows since 2014. In 2020, he was promoted to an in-game analyst for the Chiefs Radio Network.
