Okay, so I’ve been digging into the Kansas City Chiefs’ history, specifically their running backs. It’s a pretty wild ride, let me tell you.

I started by looking up who has the most rushing yards for the Chiefs. Turns out, it’s Jamaal Charles with a whopping 7,260 yards. That’s a lot of ground covered! Then I found out Priest Holmes is right behind him with 6,070 yards. These guys were seriously good.
I dove deeper into Jamaal Charles. This guy played 11 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Chiefs. He must have been a real asset to the team. I had to keep going, you know? My curiosity was super piqued!
Then I got this idea to make a list of the best running backs in Chiefs history. I mean, with names like Charles and Holmes, there had to be others, right? I spent hours going through articles and stats. It felt like being a detective, piecing together this puzzle of football history.
- First, I wrote down Jamaal Charles and Priest Holmes. They were no-brainers.
- Next, I started adding other names I saw mentioned a lot. It was a mix of older players and some more recent ones. I made sure to check how many yards they had and what years they played.
While doing this, I learned a bunch about the 2015 Chiefs team. Apparently, their quarterback, Alex Smith, was a big deal. I guess having a good quarterback makes a difference for the running backs, too. It was like one of those ‘aha’ moments, everything started making sense.
I found out that some of these running backs were really popular with the fans, like, legends in Kansas City. One even won the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year while with the Chiefs! I thought that was super cool, imagine being that good at what you do.
My Final List
After all this digging, I finally put together my list. It felt great to see it all come together. I even organized it by how many yards each player had. It was like, “Here’s my research, world!”

So yeah, that’s my deep dive into the Kansas City Chiefs’ running backs. It was way more fun than I expected. I started with a simple question and ended up learning so much about the team’s history and these amazing players. It just goes to show, you never know what you’ll find when you start exploring!
