Former Rutgers star Isiah Pacheco continues to shine for Kansas City Chiefs

Isiah Pacheco made an impact during his time at Rutgers and is going the same at the next level.

The Kansas City Chiefs took a chance on the Scarlet Knight running back in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft and it is paying off to this point of the season.

Pacheco made an immediate impression during training camp and was given a chance as the primary kick returner. Once the regular season began, he was getting reps sparingly but his role increased once Clyde Edwards-Helaire was placed on IR.

The Chiefs have not used Pacheco as a pass catcher during his rookie season.
