Deneric Prince Rushes Team-High Four Times Saturday

3 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Deneric Prince put up modest production in Saturday night's preseason loss to the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium, rushing four times for 16 yards and catching both of his two targets for 10 yards in the defeat. Prince tied with fullback Carson Steele and fourth-stringer Keaontay Ingram for a team-high four carries on Saturday evening against Jacksonville. Although he went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, Prince is trying to beat out incumbent veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the No. 2 RB job this summer behind workhorse starter Isiah Pacheco. With Jerick McKinnon out of the picture in KC, the 24-year-old power back has a clearer pathway to a change-of-pace role for the Chiefs in 2024. Even so, Prince will likely need to yield more impressive results in next Saturday's preseason game against the visiting Detroit Lions to make a serious case for more backfield touches.
