On Thursday night, the Kansas City Chiefs will begin their attempt for a never-before-accomplished Super Bowl three-peat by hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
The game will also mark the NFL debut of rookie Carson Steele, who joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA last May. While he’s officially listed as the team's starting fullback — the team did not carry one in 2023 — his ability to run with the football helped him make the team’s 53-man roster.
Since backup running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been placed on the team’s Reserve/NFI list — where he will miss at least four games — and veteran Samaje Perine only joined the team last week, Steele is likely to be the first man up behind starting running back Isiah Pacheco on Thursday night.
