As of August 2, it still appears that Kansas City Chiefs fan favorite running back/fullback Carson Steele will have an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster in year two.
According to Arrowhead Addict reporter Price Carter, the “Chiefs’ RB rotation is very clearly 1A. [Isiah] Pacheco 1B. [Kareem] Hunt 2. [Elijah] Mitchell. 3. [Brashard] Smith 4. Steele.”
That puts Steele fifth on the running back depth chart, and although he has other talents that lie in special teams and work as a fullback, fifth likely won’t get it done come cutdown time.
Steele was an unexpected summer standout as an undrafted rookie last training camp and preseason. In the end, he impressed the KC coaching staff enough to make the 53-man roster, but some have doubts that Steele can do the same in 2025.
The Chiefs made it a priority to bring back or bring in ball carriers this spring, re-signing Hunt and taking a free agency flier on Mitchell. They also drafted Smith, who has turned heads in a pass-catching role over the past few months.
