I think Carson Steele might compliment Pacheco and CEH the best in regards to being a true short yardage back, also seems to have a nose for the endzone. The RB3 spot will probably go to the back who can offer the most on special teams.
None of the guys on the roster right now have the talent of McKinnon per say to really steal reps, I would rank them as:
I have thought La'Mical Perine had a shot at the McKinnon role. He showed a bit of pass pro ability, had some pop, and showed he could catch out of the backfield in his limited opportunities. I think it will come down to him or Bailey over the summer and through camp. [Reply]
Chiefs UDFA RB addition Emani Bailey averaged 3.68 yards after contact per attempt in 2023. He ranked 10th in the nation with 70 missed tackles forced and dropped 0 passes on 25 targets. #Chiefs | #ChiefsKingdompic.twitter.com/se0zBrTVGL

None of the above...Steele is the only one that has a prayer of chipping a DE. My $ would be on picking up a cut in August. I would love to see Bailey on the practice squad and replace CEH next year, at least he offers something. [Reply]
