After the preseason, the Kansas City Chiefs acquired running back Samaje Perine to shore up the depth in their backfield.
A seasoned veteran, Perine gained 693 yards on 53 carries and 50 receptions during his time with the Denver Broncos last season and could be a boon for Kansas City’s offense if he can replicate his 2023 performance this year.
Perine was interviewed in the locker room on Monday and shared details about the process of signing with the club and how he feels joining the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Sports Radio 810 WHB shared this video of his comments in a post to Twitter:

Though he is expected to suit up for the Chiefs in their Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, it remains unclear how much of a role Perine will play in Andy Reid’s offense.
Stay tuned to see if he gets any carries during his debut in Kansas City.
