How can the Chiefs improve their running backs for 2025?

The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2025 offseason with only one true running back on their roster — and have plenty of questions about the position for the coming season.

In 2024, the team featured Isiah Pacheco, who missed nine games due to injury. This year, he’ll be in the final season of his rookie contract — and the team could be looking for an upgrade.

In Week 4, Kareem Hunt returned to the team to help make up for Pacheco’s absence — and just before the season began, the team signed former Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine as a third-down back

Early on, rookie fullback Carson Steele took snaps as a running back, but his role diminished as the season progressed.
