The Kansas City Chiefs traded up to select running back Kareem Hunt out of Toledo in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Hunt was an every down back during his four years at Toledo and some believe that he could emerge as the best running back in this year's class.
The 21-year-old is expected to compete with Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West for playing time this fall.
