With Isiah Pacheco out for an extended period of time, the Chiefs have brought Kareem Hunt back to the franchise after cutting him in 2018.<\/p>\n
Hunt and quarterback Patrick Mahomes entered the league in the same draft class in 2017 and remained friends over the last several years.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Mahomes said he was glad to have the former third-round pick back in Kansas City.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came to my wedding<\/span>,\u201d Mahomes said Wednesday, via Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com. \u201cHe went to Cleveland, had a good career there, has learned and become a better person, and I\u2019m glad to have him back now. Let\u2019s get him accustomed to the offense and see how fast we can get him out there.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2018, the Chiefs cut Hunt after video emerged of the running back pushing a woman down and kicking her. He has had no further incidents, playing the last five seasons for the Browns.<\/p>\n \u201cI think everyone has friends that make mistakes, and obviously, some are bigger than others,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cBut 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. I think you\u2019ve seen that with Kareem, and so I\u2019ve stayed in touch with him to see how he\u2019s doing, how his family is doing, everything like that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been able to carve out a great career in the NFL, and you\u2019ve seen he\u2019s been able to keep his nose clean and be a better person, and that\u2019s what you want to see.\u201d<\/p>\n Last season, Hunt rushed for 411 yards with nine touchdowns in 15 games for Cleveland. While he wore No. 27 in the past, he was sporting a No. 29 jersey with Kansas City in Wednesday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With Isiah Pacheco out for an extended period of time, the Chiefs have brought Kareem Hunt back to the franchise after cutting him in 2018.
