On paper, the Kansas City Chiefs have every reason to feel great about their talent and depth at running back.
Any franchise would feel good about having the NFL’s returning rushing leader in Kareem Hunt—a rookie, no less—a second-year stud who shed tackles like no other player in the NFL in 2017. As good as he looked last year, he should be even better behind a healthier offensive line and with more weapons in the passing game to keep defenses honest.
Behind him is the returning starter from 2016 in Spencer Ware. Knocked out for the year by a torn PCL before the season even started, it’s easy for Chiefs fans to forget (let alone the rest of the NFL) that Ware racked up nearly 1,400 yards from scrimmage in his first full year taking starters reps.
