Chiefs UDFA running back Jerrion Ealy brings special team potential
John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports Ealy’s versatility and return skills could land him a roster spot. Once again, in 2022, the Kansas City Chiefs enter training camp with solid depth at the running back position. Starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire, veteran Jerick McKinnon and fourth-year running back Derrick Gore return to the lineup. The Chiefs signed veteran Ronald Jones in free agency and selected Isiah Pacheco in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. It has undoubtedly created an uphill roster battle for undrafted free agent Jerrion Ealy, but perhaps a practice-squad...

Isiah Pacheco is dark horse to make the Chiefs active roster

How Clyde Edwards-Helaire can boost the Chiefs’ offense
Photo by Jamie Squire/ This summer series turns its focus to the third-year running back with plenty to prove in 2022. For the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense will not feature what has been the league’s most dangerous, big-play threat: wide receiver Tyreek Hill. For this reason, the 2022 season won’t look quite the same. So in this summer series — The Reid Remix — we’ll use statistics, film and quotes we’ve heard this offseason to preview how different aspects of the unit could look in the coming season. We started by...

‘Timing’ is the key word in lead-up to Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s 2022 season
Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via The third-year running back knows that for better or worse, timing has defined his Kansas City career. Whether you compare the first stretch of the 2021 regular season to the second (or the in-game flip between halves of last season’s AFC Championship), inconsistency was a recurring theme of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense. That up-and-down feeling can also be attached to the season (and career) of Chiefs’ running back Clyde-Edwards-Helaire, who is now entering his third NFL season. Absences due to multiple injuries...

KC Chiefs running backs ranked among NFL’s worst units
Clyde Edwards-Helaire is aware that he’s under the microscope heading into the 2022 season for the Kansas City Chiefs. As a former first-round pick, the Chiefs have yet to utilize him in ways that were expected back in 2020, and what opportunities he’s earned haven’t been all that productive. It’s not all that surprising, then, […] KC Chiefs running backs ranked among NFL’s worst units - Arrowhead Addict - Arrowhead Addict - Kansas City Chiefs - KC Chiefs News, Schedule, Roster and Rumors

PFF ranks Chiefs’ running back group among the league’s worst
Photo by Jamie Squire/ The football analytics site has Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ronald Jones in its “Potential Weakness” tier On Wednesday, the football analytics site Pro Football Focus released another of its offseason position rankings. In it, Ben Linsey ranked the NFL’s running back units. Earlier this offseason, I ranked the top-20 starting running backs in the NFL. There’s going to be some similarity between these rankings and that list, but the league is shifting more and more toward a running-back-by-committee approach, as just one running back —...
