Here's why Jerick McKinnon will play a vital role in the Chiefs’ potential Super Bowl run. ChiefsKingdom
on the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense has gone understated. A versatile weapon within a high-octane Chiefs offense, while he’s yet to put a full season together with consistent touches, he’s shown up when it’s mattered most.
With 256 yards on 31 touches the last two weeks, his four trips to the end zone have raised the floor of what is already one of the league’s most potent attacks led by Patrick Mahomes. Primarily looked upon as a third-down back throughout the entirety of his career, it’s been a winding road to playing time for the 2014 third-round pick .
It’s been a rotating door of ball carriers for head coach Andy Reid for the past few years, from battling through Clyde-Edwards Helaire’s injury concerns, a failed signing of Ronald Jones, and a 2021 season that was led by Darrel Williams on the ground.
For a Chiefs team that has wrapped up the AFC West for the seventh consecutive season, expanding Bieniemy’s playbook remains of the utmost importance if they eye another Super Bowl run. There’s only one ball to go around with talent in abundance, but for an athlete like Jerick McKinnon who’s taken advantage of an opportunity, history has shown to keep striking while the iron is hot come playoff time.
