The Kansas City Chiefs may boast the best group of starters at running back, in the NFL, since the turn of the century. Think it about it for a moment. The year 2000 was uneventful in the Chiefs’ backfield, but Priest Holmes showed up with Dick Vermeil the following season. Holmes was followed by Larry Johnson, who was eventually succeeded by Jamaal Charles. The eighth-year man out of the University of Texas began the year as the incumbent starter, but was felled by yet another ACL tear against the Chicago Bears. The latest flashpoint in the trajectory of uber-talented Kansas City half backs comes in the form of an undrafted free agent who the team originally cut in his rookie season.
Chiefs’ next man up: Charcandrick West
