If it weren’t for Pittsburgh Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cleveland Browns RB Kareem Hunt’s career may have been over. It was a knee injury to RB Nick Chubb caused by a hit by Fitzpatrick that facilitated Hunt’s return a few weeks into the 2023 season, having previously gone unsigned.
Upon his return, he recorded a career-high nine rushing touchdowns, albeit at just three yards per carry. His run success rate dipped to under 46 percent in 2023, the lowest mark since his rookie season when his numbers were dragged up by explosive plays.
His now former running backs coach, however, blames himself—and all of Hunt’s other coaches.
