Isiah Pacheco To Begin As Primary Kickoff Returner
2 years agoKansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco will start the preseason as the team's primary kickoff returner. "We'll see if he can handle it," special teams coordinator Dave Toub said. "In a few games, we'll be able to know right away. He's promising. He's a big guy: 215 (pounds) running a 4.37 (40-yard dash at the league's scouting combine). That's kind of scary back there if we can get that thing going." If the seventh-rounder can handle the duties, he should be able to secure a roster spot heading into his first NFL season. On offense, the 23-year-old's speed could earn him a role alongside Ronald Jones and Jerick McKinnon, but for now, Pacheco is off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
