Outside of the onset of the 2018 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs have used a committee approach at the running back position until the cream rises to the top. With the addition of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones, it doesn’t look like that will change in 2022.
Speaking to media members at the NFL’s owners’ meetings earlier this week, Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke about Jones for the first time since the team had signed him. He explained what he likes about Jones, but also laid out his plans for the position.
“I like Ronald (Jones). I like the size, speed that he has. He’s a tough runner. He has good vision,” Reid told reporters. “I’ll take that. He needs that opportunity to feel like he’s a major part of this thing. We’ll give him that. I’ve got Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) in there, too. So it’ll just help take some pressure off of Clyde and they’ll work together and be a pretty good combo.”
