What?
Since 2013, the Chiefs, due to injuries, have played at least 3 running backs per season. In 2013, it was Charles, Davis, Gray and at times, McCluster. In 2014, it was Charles, Davis and Gray. In 2015, Charles, Ware, West and Davis, same as 2016.
It's important for him to be on the same page with his backs in the passing game, which is a huge element of Reid's offense. And if all the camp reports are true (which I take with a grain of salt but should be noted), Kareem Hunt is going to see a lot of playing time this year, so working on that timing in the passing game is important, regardless of where he's at on the depth chart today.
And don't even get me started on the number of receivers he's had to develop chemistry with during that time. Hell, other than Maclin, Kelce and Hill, you could argue that he's had very little chemistry with any of them.
