Kansas City Chiefs Eyeing Veteran Kareem Hunt After Pacheco’s Injury Blow
The Kansas City Chiefs are facing a major setback with Isiah Pacheco poised to be sidelined for an extensive period due to a fractured fibula. Keen to fill the significant void this leaves, the Chiefs are eyeing a somewhat familiar face — the veteran running back, Kareem Hunt.
A Possible Reunion Looms
Multiple reports have confirmed that Kareem Hunt, now 29, will be visiting Kansas City on Tuesday. Yes, folks! The same Hunt who electrified the field as a Chiefs third-round pick in 2017. Remember him? As a rookie, he led the entire league with a jaw-dropping 1,327 rushing yards, while also hauling in 53 catches for 455 yards. Truly a jack of all trades!
But let’s not sugarcoat it. Hunt’s tenure with the Chiefs took a tumultuous turn when a disturbing video emerged in November 2018. This footage showed him pushing a woman to the ground and then kicking her. Kansas City made a swift and stern decision to waive him.
Back After the Storm
After serving an eight-game suspension in the 2019 season post-signing with the Browns, Hunt found yet another opportunity to prove himself. He had a decent stint in Cleveland, contributing significantly over the last five seasons. Just last year, he featured in 15 games, starting twice, rallying up 411 rushing yards alongside nine touchdowns.
Stellar Statistics
When we roam through the enchanted forest of his NFL career stats, his accomplishments are nothing short of heroic. In exactly 91 career games, Hunt has piled up an impressive 4,436 rushing yards with 40 touchdowns. And if that wasn’t enough to dazzle your fantasy league mates, he’s also caught 226 passes, bagging another 1,890 yards and 17 touchdowns.
The Chiefs sure seem eager for a talent-packed reunion. Will the prodigal son return to make amends with his past and help torch the field once more? Only time will unveil the grand script awaiting at Arrowhead Stadium. For Chiefs fans, this development might just be that soothing balm after Pacheco’s tough luck. Buckle up, amigos, NFL drama is always full of thrilling twists and turns!
