KAREEM HUNT’S AN ELUSIVE ADDITION TO THE CHIEFS BACKFIELD


The Chiefs traded picks 104, 132 and 245 in the 2017 draft to select Toledo’s Kareem Hunt with the 86th overall pick last month.

Hunt had a prolific career for the Rockets, grading positively every game a season ago, generating 986 rushing yards after contact and not recording a single drop in the passing game.

His elusive rating of 112.1 ranked him third among all FBS running backs with a minimum of 187 carries.

Despite the potential Hunt possesses, the Chiefs are planning on keeping veteran Spencer Ware as their lead back to start 2017, per a report by ESPN’s Adam Tiecher.

Ware emerged as the Chiefs’ best running back late in 2015 and since then has forced 51 missed tackles on 310 carries, generating an impressive 3.1 yards per carry after contact.

Most people are sleeping on Hunt, the comparisons to Emmitt Smith are not without merit

His running style is the definition of 'bellcow'... Reid seems to be going away from the Charles/Westbrook model

Between Hunt and Ware we're definitely moving to more of a power run game

Mahomes will now be the homerun hitter, our backs just need to get us first downs and the occasional 10-30 yard chunks

I'd like to get those two really rolling together like Atlanta uses Freeman and Coleman. Just a couple of well balanced runners who run hard as hell and can catch the ball.

This team is going to need a top notch run game to make an AFC Championship under Alex Smith in 2017, along with a top notch defense. Now, if Mahomes becomes as good as many including myself think he could be, it's a whole new level for the Chiefs. The offense could become something it hasn't been in nearly 15 years.

Time for chiefs to pound some KHunt

[kccrow]

The Chiefs had their worst statistical output in the rushing yards since Reid has been here in 2016. They also had their lowest overall TD output (pass and rush). They have made a point to fix it so far with the moves in the draft and offseason.

Here's a statistical snapshot:

Rushing

2016 - 412 ATT - 1,748 YDS - 4.2 YPA - 15 TD
2015 - 436 ATT - 2,044 YDS - 4.7 YPA - 19 TD
2014 - 420 ATT - 1,918 YDS - 4.6 YPA - 18 TD
2013 - 442 ATT - 2,056 YDS - 4.7 YPA - 17 TD

Passing

2016 - 365/546 - 3,740 YDS - 7.2 YPA - 19 TD - 8 INT
2015 - 310/473 - 3,255 YDS - 7.4 YPA - 20 TD - 7 INT
2014 - 320/493 - 3,182 YDS - 7.0 YPA - 18 TD - 6 INT
2013 - 333/546 - 3,340 YDS - 6.5 YPA - 24 TD - 8 INT

Offensive Production

2016 - 958 ATT - 5,488 YDS - 5.7 YPA - 34 TD
2015 - 909 ATT - 5,299 YDS - 5.8 YPA - 39 TD
2014 - 913 ATT - 5,100 YDS - 5.6 YPA - 36 TD
2013 - 988 ATT - 5,396 YDS - 5.5 YPA - 41 TD

I may have missed a few "hidden TDs" in there somewhere, but this is what the NFL says happened.

You don't trade up for Kareem Hunt because your run game didn't blow chunks.

Football outsiders DVOA is not the actual rushing rankings. Jesus.

You also don't trade up into the top 10 from 27 for Pat Mahomes if your QB isn't holding your entire team back.

Oh, and I can't wait to watch Kareem Hunt run the rock!

Is there a thread where we can read about this Hunt kid?
