Signing of Jerick McKinnon could once again be among best of season

On Tuesday, the NFL transactions report made our Monday report official: the Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed veteran running back Jerick McKinnon.

In 2022, McKinnon — who turned 31 on Wednesday — appeared in every one of the team’s games, collecting 803 yards (and 10 touchdowns) from scrimmage on 128 touches. His nine receiving touchdowns led all the league’s running backs.

Six other NFL backs have scored at least nine receiving touchdowns in a season. The last to do it was the St. Louis Rams Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk in 2001.
