Deneric Prince Continues Pushing For RB2 Role

3 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Deneric Prince flashed some big-play ability in Saturday evening's preseason defeat to the visiting Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium, rushing seven times for 47 yards in the loss. Prince also caught one of his two targets for seven yards on Saturday against Detroit, most notably breaking away for a 41-yard scamper in the second quarter to help set up an eventual scoring drive for the Chiefs. The 24-year-old power back might be making some inroads on KC's No. 2 job in the backfield as he battles with incumbent veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the role, but he still has some work to do if he wants to become the top backup to workhorse starter Isiah Pacheco this fall. Prince has one more chance to leave an impression on the coaching staff in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chicago Bears.
