The Kansas City Chiefs leaned on running back Isiah Pacheco during their run to Super Bowl LVIII. His tenacity with the ball in his hands and ability to gain yards on tough runs has endeared him to fans in Western Missouri and helped him make a name for himself in the NFL.

Pacheco turned 25 on Saturday, just weeks after the Chiefs’ latest Super Bowl victory. His outstanding performance in the playoffs cemented Pacheco’s status as one of the league’s best rushers.

With plenty of time left in his career, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think that the Rutgers product could earn a place in Kansas City’s franchise record books over the next few seasons. The consistency he has brought to the Chiefs’ running game has been a boon for Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, who have been able to rely on Pacheco to pick up gritty yards on the ground to keep Kansas City’s offense balanced.
