Jamaal Charles: ‘I’m the LeBron James of football’

Kansas City Chiefs veteran running back Jamaal Charles is one of the most versatile backs in the business and for that, he deserves some respect. With running backs DeMarco Murray, Adrian Peterson and LeSean McCoy dominating headlines all offseason, it is time we recognize Charles, who had this to report:

“Sometimes I feel like I’m the LeBron of football,” Charles told reporters at Chiefs camp, according to Terez Paylor of The Kansas City Star, “because I can do so much.”

Over the past three seasons, Charles has averaged 1,276 rushing yards and eight rushing scores per season.
