"Pacheco, 27, was the Kansas City Chiefs' starting running back for much of his time in the past four seasons. In 13 games last season, Pacheco finished with 462 rushing yards and two total touchdowns. Kansas City, however, reached agreement on a deal with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III to become their new lead running back."
"A turning point in Pacheco's career occurred in Week 2 of the 2024 season. He didn't finish the game after he broke the fibula in his right leg, an injury that forced him to miss 10 games. Since then, he hasn't been as dynamic and explosive as he was during the 2023 season, when generated a career-high 935 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns."
"The Chiefs selected Pacheco with the 251st pick in the 2022 draft. Early during his time in Kansas City, Pacheco developed into a pivotal member of one of the franchise's most impressive draft classes. Midway through his rookie season, Pacheco earned the starting role over Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was the Chiefs' first-round pick in 2020."
The Detroit Lions acquired running back Isiah Pacheco to fill the void created by trading David Montgomery to the Houston Texans. Pacheco, 27, spent the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he developed into a key contributor during their Super Bowl dynasty run. In 2023, he recorded a career-high 935 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. However, a fibula fracture in Week 2 of the 2024 season limited his effectiveness, resulting in only 462 rushing yards across 13 games last season. The Chiefs replaced Pacheco by signing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III as their new lead running back.
