Much like Kelce, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-kareem-hunt-confident-super-bowl-take" rel="noopener">Hunt is eyeing another shot at the Super Bowl</a>. The Chiefs are looking to redeem themselves after their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/biggest-loser-chiefs-eagles-super-bowl-not-philadelphia" rel="noopener">blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl</a>. </p><p>Altogether, the Chiefs are still one of the best teams in the NFL.

Although the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-most-to-blame-for-blowout-super-bowl-59-loss-to-eagles">Kansas City Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX</a> to the Philadelphia Eagles, there is more work to be done.</p><p>The defense was elite, but the Eagles offensive attack proved to be too much. After Eagles legends like Brandon Graham retired, it might give Kansas City more of an easier avenue.</p><p>When speaking to reporters on Thursday, Hunt <a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2025/3/22/24391463/chiefs-roster-kareem-hunt-has-unfinished-business-for-2025" rel="noopener">liked his team’s chances</a> at running it back for another Super Bowl.</p><p>“The culture is just great,” he told reporters on Thursday via Rocky Magaña of SB Nation. “It didn’t end the way we wanted it to. But we’ve got a lot of work to do — and I feel like we’ve got another good shot at it.”</p><p>After the Chiefs lost to Tom Brady in the 2021 Super Bowl, they ran into Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Fast forward a season after that, and they went back to the Super Bowl.</p><p>Coincidentally, they faced the Eagles in 2023 and defeated them. The following year, they took down the San Francisco 49ers and won again. Although they couldn’t capture the three-peat, they can still win more.</p><h2><b>Kareem Hunt likes the Chiefs’ Super Bowl odds</b></h2><p>One of the biggest questions surrounding the team has been the offense. Hunt came back and showed flashes of his old self. However, there’s no big-name receiver. Tight end Travis Kelce has a major drop off.</p><p>And the main wide receiver was rookie Xavier Worthy. While the latter showed out in the Super Bowl, it didn’t matter by the time he got going.</p><p>Regardless of some of the uncertainties, the Chiefs still have Patrick Mahomes on their team. He’s willed his teams to Super Bowls plenty of times before.</p><p>With <a href="https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-defense-rankings/" rel="noopener">an improved defense</a> in the 2024-25 season, he didn’t have to be a superhero all the time. Mahomes was able to manage the game effectively, as he usually does.</p><p>Either way, their confidence doesn’t seemed rattled in the slightest. There might be some hurdles to overcome but Hunt thinks it’s possible.</p><p>After the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-chicago-acquires-joe-thuney-stunning-trade-with-chiefs">Chiefs traded away Joe Thuney</a>, they might have more needs to address.

And that includes retaining veteran contributors who know the system that head coach Andy Reid likes to utilize. KC and running back Kareem Hunt have <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1900603155353608463" rel="noopener">agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract</a>, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal includes incentives.</p><p>There was some doubt about if the two sides would stay together, considering the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-kyle-juszczyk-powerful-message-elijah-mitchell-rbs-chiefs-decision">Chiefs signed former San Francisco 49ers RB</a> Elijah Mitchell, but the organization clearly wants to give itself options in the backfield. Hunt, the No. 86 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, returned to the Chiefs last September as a practice squad addition. He quickly became a key presence in the team’s RB room, as injuries compelled KC to turn back the clock.</p><p>The 29-year-old was not able to reclaim his Pro Bowl form, but he did serve a workhorse role in the early portion of the 2024-25 season. Hunt totaled 200 carries for 728 yards and seven touchdowns, while also recording 23 receptions for 176 yards in 13 games. Two-time Super Bowl champion Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2 and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-isiah-pacheco-rib-injury-win-over-steelers">battled a rib injury</a> late in the year, opening the door for others to step up.</p><p>Hunt held down the fort for a time, but Kansas City clearly had trust issues with its running back group. Considering the rushing talent that fills the 2025 NFL Draft class, there has been growing speculation that the three-time reigning AFC champions could grab an RB in April. While that is still a possibility, re-signing Hunt makes it harder to gauge general manager Brett Veach’s plans.</p><p>He will get the benefit of the doubt regardless. When the Chiefs were last embarrassed in a Super Bowl, they bounced back in a huge way. Fans are hopeful the same will happen next season. And if it does, Kareem Hunt will now be there to experience it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

These are two players who previously played for the Chiefs and then moved on to other teams before returning to Kansas City. A pair of statistics related to Monday’s game shows <a href="https://x.com/BenjaminSolak/status/1843492679952543924" rel="noopener">just how good these players were</a>.

This was a staggering 1,366 days ago, per ESPN’s Benjamin Solak.</p><p>Kareem Hunt had a similarly historic performance. Hunt ran for 102 rushing yards, the most he’s had in a game since the 2020 season with the Browns. That game was 1,422 days ago.</p><p>Both Smith-Schuster and Hunt are recent additions to the Chiefs.

He started his career with the Chiefs, so it was a special night for him.</p><p>“It was a great feeling to get back in the end zone. I missed it very much,” Hunt said just a few weeks after joining the team to replace an injured Isiah Pacheco. “That’s why I threw up a heart. To show my love for Kansas City.”</p><p>Smith-Schuster is also happy to be back in Kansas City after a short stint in New England.</p><p>“It’s pretty cool to get the band back together,” Smith-Schuster said. “Man, I’m telling you, there is no place like this. What we have here is special. It’s unreal.”</p><p>The Chiefs have a week off with their bye coming in Week 6. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/schedule/upcoming">Next up for Kansas City is a trip to San Francisco in Week 7</a> for a Super Bowl rematch.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Chiefs have a great offensive line, a savvy OC, and the best quarterback in the business to open up lanes between the tackles; if there was ever an offensive system designed to allow a journeyman running back to immediately walk in an make an impact, it’s Kansas City.</p><p>Originally drafted in the third round out of Toledo, Hunt has only averaged <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HuntKa00.htm" rel="noopener">457 yards per season over his five years</a> with the Browns. Granted, much of that had to do with sharing carries with Nick Chubb, it also has to do with his diminished yards per average in Cleveland, going from 4.7 in Kansas City to 4.0 with the Browns. While only time will tell if he can take on a bigger role with the Chiefs until Pacheco returns later this season, his addition to the roster is certainly worth the no-risk investment general manager Brett Veach took on bringing him back to town.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Chiefs, in urgent need of reinforcements after losing starting running back Isiah Pacheco to a fractured fibula, turned to Hunt as a familiar and capable option.</p><p>Despite the controversy surrounding his departure, Hunt’s bond with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes never wavered. Both were drafted by Kansas City in 2017 and developed a strong friendship over the years. Mahomes <a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2024/9/18/24248355/chiefs-news-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-kareem-hunt-back" rel="noopener">expressed his happiness</a> about Hunt’s return, explaining that the two had stayed in touch even while Hunt played for the Browns, per Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride.</p><p>“He came to my wedding,” Mahomes said. “He went to Cleveland, had a good career there, has learned and become a better person, and I’m glad to have him back now.”</p><p>Mahomes acknowledged that while Hunt had made mistakes, he has worked to better himself and those around him.</p><p>“I think everyone has friends that make mistakes, and obviously, some are bigger than others,” Mahomes noted. “But at the same time, you want to make the person better, and you want to see them taking the right steps to become a better person for themselves, their family, and the rest of society.”</p><p>Kansas City head coach Andy Reid echoed Mahomes’ sentiments, emphasizing the importance of second chances and personal growth. Reid, who spoke to Hunt at Mahomes’ wedding, said he welcomed the running back’s return but cautioned him to stay focused.</p><p>“Make sure [to] keep your nose clean, right?” Reid advised. “That’s the important part, and go play football. I think people deserve a second chance if they’ve done something to work on the first part of it.”</p><p>Hunt’s return is especially significant, given his history with Kansas City. Once a rising star for the team, his career took a sudden turn in 2018 when video footage surfaced showing him pushing and kicking a woman during an altercation.</p><p>The Chiefs released Hunt immediately, citing his dishonesty about the incident. Since then, Hunt has spent five seasons with the Cleveland Browns, working to rebuild his career and personal reputation. He remained incident-free during his tenure in Cleveland, proving his ability to stay focused on football.</p><h2><b>Reid exercises caution Kareem Hunt rejoins Chiefs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kansas-City-Chiefs-running-back-Kareem-Hunt-27-celebrates-scoring-in-the-second-quarter-against-the-Los-Angeles-Rams-at-the-Los-Angeles-Memorial-Coliseum.jpg"><figcaption>© Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Although Hunt is back in familiar territory, Andy Reid is cautious about rushing him onto the field. While the Chiefs were pleased with how Hunt looked during a recent workout, they recognize he may need time to get back into football shape. Reid explained that Hunt would likely spend his first few days working with the scout team and focusing on conditioning.</p><p>“I want to see him out there working [Wednesday] and where he’s at,” Reid said. “I’ll probably have him doing more scout team stuff than actually in with the group.”</p><p>Hunt’s familiarity with the Chiefs’ playbook and base protections gives him a slight advantage in re-acclimating to the offense. Still, the Chiefs are prepared to rely on a combination of Carson Steele and Samaje Perine in the immediate future, with practice squad back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-sign-former-cardinals-running-back-after-isiah-pacheco-injury">Keaontay Ingram also activated to the 53-man roster</a>.

Thankfully, the Chiefs are reuniting with one running back who should help mitigate Pacheco’s injury.</p><p>The Chiefs are <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1836122063200788675" rel="noopener">signing their former running back</a> Kareem Hunt, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Hunt will join Kansas City’s practice squad, with the expectation that he will eventually be elevated to the 53-man roster once he is ready.</p><p>The Chiefs did not waste much time finding a replacement. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-kansas-city-hosting-ex-rb-visit-isiah-pacheco-ir-move">News broke on Monday that Kansas City was inviting Hunt on a visit</a> for Tuesday. Kansas City didn’t let him leave the building without getting a deal done.</p><p>Kareem Hunt burst onto the scene in 2017 with a hugely impressive rookie season. Hunt logged 1,327 rushing yards and eight touchdowns at 4.9 yards per carry during his rookie campaign. He also added 455 receiving yards and three touchdowns through the air.</p><p>Hunt saw his production skew more towards his receiving skills during his sophomore season. In 2018, the Chiefs gave Hunt nearly 100 fewer carries, but he was still able to manage 824 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Meanwhile, he added 378 receiving yards and <i>seven</i> touchdowns in the air.</p><p>Kareem Hunt has never matched this level of production after leaving the Chiefs <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-video-of-kareem-hunt-shoving-kicking-woman-surfaces">due to an off-the-field scandal</a>. It remains to be seen if he can reach those heights again in his second stint in Kansas City.</p><h2><b>How will Kareem Hunt fit into the Chiefs plans at running back?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Kareem_Hunt_reaching_for_end_zone.webp"><figcaption>Thomas Shea-USA Today Sports</figcaption></figure><p>All of this begs to question: how does Kareem Hunt factor into Kansas City’s plans at running back moving forward?</p><p>The Chiefs <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/kc/kansas-city-chiefs" rel="noopener">do not have many options at running back</a> at the moment. Carson Steele should be the main early-down option with Samaje Perine taking over as their main third-down back. That is the extent of their depth for now, as Clyde Edwards-Helaire is currently banged up and Pacheco is of course on IR.</p><p>Therefore, it seems fair to say that Kareem Hunt will have an opportunity to have an impact very soon.</p><p>However, Hunt will have to get acclimated first and earn his way onto the roster.</p><p>Chiefs fans should not expect to see Hunt on the field in Week 3, though it is technically possible. Instead, Hunt is most likely to learn the playbook and get conditioned over a week or two before stepping into live action.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
