Veteran running back Kareem Hunt is very excited about his second stint with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Chiefs<\/p>\n
In the wake of Isiah Pacheco’s injury, veteran running back\u00a0Kareem Hunt reunited with the Kansas City Chiefs. Pacheco underwent surgery to correct his fractured fibula and will miss at least six weeks. Meanwhile, with an opportunity to win a championship with the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Chiefs, Hunt will begin his second stint with the team that drafted him in 2017.<\/p>\n

Hunt\u00a0talked about rejoining\u00a0the Chiefs, per NBC Sports’ Myles Simmons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see a lot of talent around here<\/span>,\u201d Hunt said in his press conference, per NBC Sports’ Myles Simmons. \u201cThey had a bunch of talent ever since I was here. And I\u2019ve just seen the way Pat [Mahomes] has grown and matured and became the leader of this team. My rookie year, I played with Alex [Smith], and he was like that. I feel like just seeing the player he turned into be, I couldn\u2019t be much happier.\u201d<\/p>\n

After leading the league in rushing yards as a rookie, Hunt was abruptly released from the team when a video of him pushing down a woman and kicking her was revealed in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hard, but I had to just think about the good, positive things,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cI was so excited for coach Reid to win multiple Super Bowls. I wanted to be the guy to help him do that, too. I\u2019ve still got a lot of close friends on this team and I couldn\u2019t be more excited for them to see them achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now, he’s excited to compete for an opportunity to capture his first Super Bowl ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, that\u2019s been my goal. I feel like any player who steps on a football field wants to get a championship ring,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cAnd it\u2019ll be a dream come true for me \u2014 ever since I was a little kid. I couldn\u2019t be more excited to help these guys defend that title, come back around here, see all these familiar faces and family here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes says he \u2018hasn’t played well’ despite Chiefs’ 3-0 start<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nKansas City Chiefs quarterback\u00a0Patrick Mahomes is happy to reunite with Kareem Hunt\u00a0and hopes he and the Chiefs can play better football. Despite their perfect 3-0 start, Mahomes says the Chiefs\u00a0haven’t played well this season, per SB Nation’s Pete Sweeney.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t played well, in really, all three games,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to win, and that speaks to the character of the team, the grit, and how we\u2019ve been in these situations before. But I\u2019ll speak especially offensively. I feel like I haven\u2019t played very well. That\u2019s not a stats thing. I just feel like I\u2019m missing opportunities whenever they\u2019re out there and not throwing the ball in the exact spot I want it to be at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chiefs will face the Chargers next Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
