The dream has become a reality for Isiah Pacheco. The former Scarlet Knight has officially gone from seventh-round pick to Super Bowl champion in his first season.
On Sunday night, Pacheco found the end zone for the Kansas City Chiefs and totaled 76 yards on 15 carries. He was the game’s leading rusher and because the first Scarlet Knight to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl since LJ Smith in 2005.
From draft night, Rutgers’ fans knew what the Chiefs had and Andy Reid and company found out very quickly during training camp.
As the season went on, Pacheco proved that he could be the primary back for a contending team.
