How the Chiefs should handle the running back position this offseason

As the Kansas City Chiefs meticulously evaluate their roster over the offseason, one glaring need emerges: bolstering their running back corps with a dynamic playmaker to complement the talents of third-year player Isaiah Pacheco.

While the Chiefs’ offense has been renowned for an explosive aerial assault orchestrated by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, it has often lacked the balance provided by a consistent ground game. Nonetheless, Pacheco has exhibited a hard-nosed running style that gives him the ability to grind out the tough yards. He does, however, need a backfield partner who can deliver big plays in a complementary style to reduce some of the pressure on him.
