Kansas City Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles Relaunches Arcade-Style Football App

After an ACL injury sidelined Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles for a majority of the 2015 season, the Port Arthur, Texas native is back on the gridiron hoping for a fresh start.

The same could be said for the four-time Pro Bowler’s recently relaunched arcade-style video game called Football Unleashed 17 Jamaal Charles (JC17). The iOS app is a fresh makeover of last year’s version and developed by England-based Distinctive Games, which focuses on creating mobile sports games.

“It’s been really fun and quite surreal to be honest. I love to find new ways to heighten my brand,” Charles said in a statement about having his own video game.
