What It Means:

This comes four days after ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher predicted Hunt would lead the Chiefs in rushing and pace the backfield in receptions. Spencer Ware figures to have something to say about that, but as the highest running back ever drafted by head coach Andy Reid in Kansas City, Hunt will likely have plenty of opportunity to perform as a rookie.

Hunt churned out a ridiculous 4,945 rushing yards on 782 carries (6.32 yards per carry), with 44 touchdowns and 73 receptions in his career. Pro Football Focus charted him with the second-most missed tackles forced (98) in the nation in 2016, and he put the ball on the ground just once on 856 college touches. Out of 42 running backs to see 100-plus attempts last season at the professional level, Ware's -0.07 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt was 11th-least.
