Winner: Isiah Pacheco, RB

I didn’t believe the Chiefs were happy running it back with their 2022 running back corps. However, they appear to be, as they drafted no running backs in the 2023 NFL Draft. After the draft, they re-signed Jerick McKinnon and added Deneric Prince as a UDFA, but neither of those players represents a true challenge to Pacheco’s lead role.

Last year, Pacheco emerged as the Chiefs’ lead back, at least on the ground.
