I don't even care about burst for a Chiefs RB.
I asked a thought exercise once - what round would you be willing to take a guy who you KNEW would get 1 yard - no more and no less - every single time he carried the football?
I think that's a 1st round pick. Because 3rd and 2? Pft - give it to Tank McOneYard twice!
4th and Goal from the 1? Done!
For this team, a team that doesn't need big plays from it's RBs like the Jamaal Charles squads did, just give me good production in short yardage situations and maybe beat up on some dudes in the 4th to keep the miles off Pacheco.
But god almighty, you point something like that out and "He could be John Riggins Light Someday!"
There are no words...
