He’s averaging over eight yards per carry in three games, with 133.7 rushing yards per contest and 137 receiving yards. His six total touchdowns are best in the NFL among skill players, and he’s been the featured back the Kansas City Chiefs have lacked since Jamaal Charles’ injuries started up.
The Chiefs are featuring Hunt in their offense, and he’s making them look like geniuses with nearly a first down every time he touches the football. He’s a big play threat and all we have seen from him thus far is efficiency.
Hunt is elusive in the open field and obviously knows how to finish plays well.
This is a complete back, and a real problem for teams looking to take down the Chiefs this season, as Hunt’s presence has given them a very dynamic and balanced attack offensively.
