Kansas City's Clyde Edwards-Helaire optimistic after 'first real offseason'

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire "feels great" after his first full offseason.

What It Means:

For the first time in his career, Edwards-Helaire will head into training camp fully healthy after the 23-year old previously dealt with gallbladder surgery and COVID-19 health protocols in his first two years. "This offseason, it was pretty much getting back to the basics, being able to have a full offseason," said Edwards-Helaire when asked about his health. "That was one of the things Coach Reid and I talked about. He said, 'This is really your first real offseason in the NFL.' Really, health was the biggest thing."

Expect Edwards-Helaire to lead a potential committee role with Ronald Jones, Isiah Pacheco, or Jerick McKinnon in a promising situation behind a Kansas City offensive line ranked ninth by Pro Football Focus. For the 2022 season, numberFire's models project Edwards-Helaire to record 142.9 rushing attempts for 612.2 yards and 4.6 touchdowns and 37.6 receptions for 286.9 yards and 2.2 touchdowns.
