Great Chiefs running backs welcome Kareem Hunt into the club

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Not long after he was drafted in the third round this year by the Kansas City Chiefs, Kareem Hunt got a crash course from some friends on the rich history at running back for his new team.

Starting with the arrival of Priest Holmes as a free agent in 2001, the Chiefs had a consistent line of top backs, continuing with Larry Johnson and then Jamaal Charles.

Each had something different going for him. Holmes had the great vision and patience, Johnson the power and ability to break tackles, Charles the moves and the speed.
