Found a couple vids of Kareem from last season. It's a small sample size, but in the areas of vision, power, burst, hands and so forth, he looks about the same as he ever was, imo.

I was gonna say, Pacheco's fast but he hasn't broke as many big runs as Kareem cause he isn't as good at any of the other stuff.
Especially being a RB, I see Pacheco's greatest value to the team perhaps being his intensity and how that may rub off on teammates. |

I will say some of the RB things he does should translate still. I hope he comes in and plays well, always liked the guy and loved the way he played.
Just maybe temper the expectations a bit. |

Yeah, I don't much care about that.
Turn some 4 yard runs into 14 and I'm golden. |

Why didn’t we grab him sooner? Instead we have the undrafted white guy

And this might be just my bias, but wouldn't Kareem be the best pass pro RB we have right now? As I remember, Kareem could block with the best of them.

Agreed. Also I don't think our OL is as good of a run blocking line as the Browns are which I often have wondered is that part of the reason for our RB's not having success?

Because not only for the Chiefs, but for no team does it make sense to sign a guy with DV history unless you really need him. Pacheco injury.... yeah, we needed a three down type. |

It's not but Cleveland frequently sees more guys in the box than we do. Our run game issues are a mix of several things, 85% shotgun runs, Pacheco's vision isn't great, our OL is much better at pass blocking etc.

We're desperate, in a lot of ways this is the only way it makes sense for either party.

I'd seen that first video. TBH I don't think the burst or lateral agility are what they were, but I also think he looks an upgrade on what we have and still good enough for the NFL. I hear the argument that a small drop off in ability can translate to a massive drop off in viability/performance. But I think in Hunt's case he's fine. A reasonable rotational player.

Can't believe that didn't get brought up sooner re: Hunt's late signings
I mean, how many teams even would sign him after 2018? Feels like he was exclusively a Brown or Chief as we reflect |
