Lost in the shuffle of receivers come and gone sits Kansas City’s peculiar running back room. The six-time AFC west champions currently have four backs in-house.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ronald Jones enter 2022 poised as the unit’s top options. They’re flanked by second-year back Derrick Gore — who flashed in limited action — and lottery ticket Brenden Knox, who, despite eclipsing 2,850 scrimmage yards at Marshall, has yet to record an NFL carry.
This group, paired with a dash of fullback Michael Burton, dives and the occasional Blake Bell tight end sneak, has all the familiar symptoms of an Andy Reid backfield.
