Patrick Mahomes has known that Isiah Pacheco had the tools to contribute to the Kansas City Chiefs offense since they first began working together in training camp. For the rookie to put it all together, though? That was on him to take the initiative and learn from the veterans in the room.
Pacheco managed to do that throughout the 17-game regular season, emerging as a key contributor to the team’s offensive success. Most recently, Pacheco had 85 scrimmage yards in the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the second-highest mark on the team next to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
