Chiefs Running Back Details Learned Lessons Of Rookie Season
Chiefs Running Back Details Learned Lessons Of Rookie Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele had a solid rookie season with Andy Reid's offense despite being a bit-part player. Advertisement An undrafted free agent, Steele had to do things the hard way to begin his NFL career, and he made good progress during the offseason, eventually making the 53-man roster. Steele would total 183 rushing yards from 56 attempts in the regular season, but didn't feature in the playoffs with Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco leading the way. But for Carson, going from where he was to making the active roster, he learned a few things. "It's one of those things where you're thinking you're okay and then you got to wait and kind of figure things out," Steele said in an interview with Nate Spangle. "I always try to tell people that if you make a mistake, doing it at 100%, they're going to be mad, but they aren't going to be upset. When you're making mistakes and half-assing it, that's when something is going to need to change." Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele (42) is tackled by Atlanta Falcons linebacker Arnold Ebiketie (17) during the second half at Mercedes-Benz Zanine-Imagn Images That mindset of not 'half-assing" it got Steele on the field in 2024, and where he did show some flashes (72 yards from 17 carries vs. Atlanta). Advertisement Now, though, as he enters his second offseason, it will be tough sledding getting touches with Pacheco, Hunt, and now Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith all vying for reps. But as we know, Steele is no stranger to adversity, having gone from an undrafted rookie to making the final roster, but Carson knows that he might have to replicate his efforts again this offseason to ensure he stays on the Chiefs roster in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs star leaves fans stunned with photo of himself with his terrifying pet animal
Kansas City Chiefs star Carson Steele posted a photo to social media of him holding his pet alligator, Crocky-J, that has left fans stunned with the terrifying creature. Steele, who is entering his second season with the Chiefs, uploaded the photo as the first in a larger roll showing off things he has recently done in his life. Steele is wearing a Chiefs hat alongside a black shirt and mesh shorts while holding Crocky-J, who appears to be smiling in the arms of his owner. Owning a pet alligator inspired Kansas City's roster to give Steele the nickname, crocodile, as a nod to the unconventional choice for a pet. 'I got him 2nd, 3rd grade probably as a Christmas present,' Steele said of his pet last year. 'So I've had him a little while now.' Steele said Crocky-J weighs between 90 and 100 pounds and his between four to five feet long. 'Just when you thought the Chiefs couldn't get anymore likeable they add this guy to the roster!' longtime reality television star and Kansas City native Wes Bergmann said on a video of Steele talking about his pet. Steele is originally from Greenwood, Indiana, which is about a half hour outside downtown Indianapolis. That part of the country is not known for being alligator-heavy, as opposed to in a state like Louisiana or Florida, which has plenty of swamps. Steele appeared in all 17 regular season games for the Chiefs last season and was second in Pro Bowl voting for fullbacks behind Baltimore's Patrick Ricard. Steele is thought of as a integral member of the Chiefs as they look to get back to their championship ways this fall after losing last year's Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Former Bruin Carson Steele to play in Super Bowl with Kansas City Chiefs
Though the college football season has come to a close, UCLA Bruins fans still have a lot to root for. After taking down the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to Super Bowl LIX with a familiar face in their lineup. Former Bruin running back Carson Steele is set to take the field with the Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on February 9. Steele, who went untaken in the 2024 NFL draft, was signed by Kansas City as an undrafted free agent. Making the 53-man roster after training camp, Steele had a limited, albeit varied, role with the Chiefs as a fullback. In his rookie campaign, Steele started three games in Kansas City, accumulating 209 total yards on 63 touches. Though Steele has not recorded a touch in the playoffs for Kansas City, heroes are made in the Super Bowl. Steele's unlikely path to the NFL can become even more storied with a Super Bowl win. With a win, Steele will join a long list of former Bruins to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
