Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon is an anomaly. He’s on the wrong side of 30 years old. He has an extensive injury history that caused him to miss the entire NFL season in both 2018 and 2019.
Now in his ninth NFL season, he’s making history with one of the most productive pass-catching seasons the league has ever seen from a running back.
In Kansas City’s 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, McKinnon finished the game with five catches for 52 yards. More significantly, he added two receiving touchdowns, giving him a staggering seven scores through the air in the last five games.
