KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In their brief history with coach Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs have done a nice job of getting solid play from running backs not wanted by other teams. Last year's leading rusher, Spencer Ware, was once released by the Seattle Seahawks. The late Joe McKnight was discarded by the New York Jets and then played only briefly for the Chiefs but had a spectacular game in 2014 against the Dolphins in Miami.
Their latest running back reclamation project, C.J. Spiller, joined the Chiefs with more accomplishments than either Ware or McKnight upon their arrivals in Kansas City.
