The recognition keeps pouring in for Chiefs rookie Kareem Hunt.
On Thursday, the Chiefs’ top running back –– and the league’s leading rusher –– was named both the AFC’s offensive player of the month and the NFL’s offensive rookie of the month.
Hunt becomes the fourth rookie to be named an offensive player of the month, joining Barry Sanders of Detriut (1989), Edgerrin James of Indianapolis (1999) and Mike Anderson of Denver (2000).
No Chief, by the way, had ever been named offensive rookie of the month.
Hunt, who checks in at 5 feet 10 and 208 pounds, has earned the recognition after a dynamite start to his career.
