Isiah Pacheco selected in seventh round of NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs

In the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, running back Isiah Pacheco was selected as the 30th pick in the round and 251st overall.

Pacheco saw his stock rise at the NFL combine when he tied for the fastest 40 time run by a running back at 4.37 seconds. He is the seventh-leading rusher in Rutgers history with 2,442 yards

He is the first Rutgers running back to be selected in the NFL Draft since Jawan Jamison was taken with the 228th pick in the seventh round in 2013.

Pacheco’s hard running style and dependability make him a solid option for teams looking to add depth to their running back room.
