It’s been a month to remember for Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie running back Kareem Hunt.
Hunt was named both the AFC Offensive Player of the Month and the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for September on Thursday after tallying 538 yards from scrimmage through his first three games as a professional – the most for a rookie since Billy Sims in 1980 (562).
The rookie tailback ran for 401 yards on 47 carries, averaging 8.5 yards per rush, and caught nine passes for 137 yards. He found the end zone six times, the most by a player through his first three games since Sims (1980) and Dutch Sternaman (1920).
