Browns coach: Former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has to earn second chance

Less than two months after being released by the Chiefs for kicking and shoving a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway and lying about it, Kareem Hunt signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Browns.

But just because the running back has a new NFL team doesn’t mean he’s been given an automatic second chance, his new coach said.

“I’ve talked to Kareem on several occasions and he’s very remorseful about what he’s done,” Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said at the NFL Combine on Wednesday. “Now it’s our job to move forward and support him and get him to a place as an individual and as a person to give him the opportunity, a second chance, per se.
