KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Carson Steele came to the Kansas City Chiefs this year as an undrafted rookie thinking he might have to make the team as a fullback, the position his stocky, 6-foot, 228-pound body looks as if it's suited for.
Steele wound up making the initial 53-player roster Tuesday because he showed there's far more to his game than blocking and playing on special teams. Between breaking tackles, making the occasional defender miss, catching passes and pass protecting, Steele not only won a job but finished training camp and the preseason as the leading backup for featured back Isiah Pacheco.
