Film review: Against 49ers, Chiefs running backs display great depth

Depth among the roster was one of the main takeaways about the Kansas City Chiefs following their preseason opener on Saturday night. In their victory over the San Francisco 49ers, we see that Kansas City’s running back group is one of the deepest on the team. Each back offers a little bit of a different dynamic — but each also provides pass-catching ability out of the backfield.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire got the start, setting the tone on the first play from scrimmage with a 10-yard carry. The second-year man out of LSU carried the ball four times — and made one reception that went for five yards and a first down.
