The Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl teams have included numerous players drafted by the franchise. General manager Brett Veach decided on the homegrown talent, but the star quarterback also provided heavy input.
Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire appeared as a guest on ‘The Pivot‘ podcast. He discussed his battle with PTSD and revealed his thoughts on being drafted by the Chiefs during the 2020 NFL Draft, per Patrick Mahomes’ suggestion.
“I’ve literally won a championship on every level that you can win on. I don’t want to say it’s nothing else that, I’m saying nothing else that can be done, but it’s like being able to hit those benchmarks and not only do that but still feel like there’s so much more else that I can do,” said Edwards-Helaire. “If it wasn’t for Pat (Patrick Mahomes) saying, Yeah, give me 22 from LSU, if it wasn’t for that, I don’t know how that void will be filled. I think it’ll just be me spreading myself as thin as possible to kind of fill those voids to make sure everything else is good around me.”
Edwards-Helaire began his career with the Chiefs as the starter before transitioning to becoming a trusted third-down running back. He continued a tradition of winning on the field to Kansas City during his tenure.
