That’s what the Kansas City Chiefs had in mind when they signed him to a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million — and the 26-year-old running back says he’s ready to start proving the team made the right move. “I’m back at 100%,” he told reporters in a Zoom call last week, referring to a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the 2024 season.

While cornerback Jaylen Watson was hurt, the Chiefs’ pass coverage was dreadful.
