When the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Isiah Pacheco in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, they might not have expected him to be a key component on a run to the Super Bowl.
Pacheco took over as the starting running back for the Chiefs in November after Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an injury. Now, he is acting as a major offensive weapon on a team that includes Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
On Sunday, the Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. This means that the former Rutgers star will act as the feature back for a team fighting for a championship.
