The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated, although they have been without several offensive weapons due to injury, opening the door for an unexpected return to the franchise.
Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt spoke with reporters on Wednesday to reflect on his mindset watching his former team find success after his departure in 2018.
“I was so excited for coach Reid to win multiple Super Bowls, I wanted to be the guy to help him do that too,” said Hunt. “I’ve still got a lot of close friends on this team, and I couldn’t be more excited for them to see them achieve their goals.”
The Chiefs have won three out of four Super Bowls since Hunt’s first tenure with the team and are focused on securing the first three-peat in NFL history. He is ready to play any role on this year’s squad, trying to become a champion.
“I mean, that’s been my goal. I feel like any player who steps on the football field wants to get a championship ring, and it’ll be a dream come true for me ever since I was a little kid. “said Hunt. “I couldn’t be more excited to help these guys defend that title. Come back around here and see all these familiar faces and family here.”
Hunt’s reunion in Kansas City could have a storybook ending with another Super Bowl title, as his contributions could be the difference in the run game.
