Film review: Jerick McKinnon proves ready to be Chiefs’ lead running back throughout playoffs

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon logged just 61 total rushing yards, 107 receiving yards and a single touchdown in 13 regular-season games. "Jet" McKinnon was set back by injuries and buried low on the depth chart largely because of it — the story of his career, at least lately.

What some Chiefs fans may not yet realize is that the 29-year-old offensive weapon had an excellent beginning to his career as a Minnesota Viking from 2014-17, and it led him to sign a 4-year, $30 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers prior to the 2018 season.
