NFL Preseason: Isiah Pacheco impresses in first NFL action

The NFL preseason is underway. Teams have gotten a taste of live action as games began over the weekend. Starters were able to get their feet wet while others continue to fight for jobs.

This includes former Rutgers star and current Kansas City Chief Isiah Pacheco.

The Chiefs landed Pacheco in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft and they might not have known what they had until training camp started. Pacheco impressed right away because of his elite speed and versatility out of the backfield. He was named the starting kick returner for the preseason and might have a chance to earn a spot in the backfield as well.
