Pacheco said that as he neared the end of the draft, multiple teams were calling to say that they wanted him to sign as an undrafted free agent. Luckily for Pacheco, that didn’t happen.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Pacheco said that he carries a chip on his shoulder. He is always determined to get out there and do his best. Here’s how he put it:
Isiah Pacheco shone in his NFL debut vs. the Arizona Cardinals
One of the more surprising Week 1 rookie debuts came in the Chiefs’ game against the Arizona Cardinals. Isiah Pacheco, the third-string running back for the Chiefs, led the Kansas City rushing attack in Week 1. He recorded 62 yards on 12 carries against Arizona during the Chiefs’ 44-21 victory.
Heading into the season, Pacheco didn’t know he’d get such a workload. He said that his mindset going into Week 1 was to compete and do whatever he could to help the Chiefs win:
Isiah Pacheco has received less of a workload over the last two weeks. During their Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, he only recorded two carries for six yards. He saw three carries for nine yards in yesterday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Pacheco could see an improved workload as the season goes on, and he’s a rookie running back to watch this season.
