Isiah Pacheco continues to impress with Kansas City Chiefs, named lead kick returner for preseason

Isiah Pacheco spent four years impressing Rutgers and now, he seems to be doing the same with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pacheco was selected in the seventh round by Kansas City during the 2022 NFL Draft. It is difficult for a late, day-three draft pick to make an immediate impact during training camp. Pacheco has fit into the scheme well with the Chiefs and has even earned time with the first team.

On Tuesday, the Chiefs announced that Pacheco will start the preseason as their lead kick returner.
