Dawson, a Hall of Fame quarterback, died Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found a way to honor the late Len Dawson before Thursday's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

Mahomes wore a hoodie with a screen image of Dawson, his autograph, the year he won Super Bowl 4, and when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Dawson died Wednesday at the age of 87.

The Chiefs had a moment of silence before Thursday's kickoff. The team also announced that players will wear the No. 16 on their helmets this season in honor of Dawson.
