Isiah Pacheco and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates were honored this week at the Super Bowl, capping off a crazy year for the former Rutgers football running back
Pacheco capped off the Super Bowl celebrations this week with the rest of the Chiefs at the White House where they were hosted by President Joe Biden. A seventh round pick out of Rutgers in last year’s NFL draft, Pacheco had a tremendous rookie season, rushing for over 1,000 yards (including the playoffs). He earned the starting running back position by mid-season.
During the Super Bowl, he ran for a touchdown in the second quarter.
This week, the White House posted a video of Pacheco talking about his visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
“It was a great feeling to be in the White House after the Super Bowl victory. After you win the Super Bowl, there’s a lot of changes but now to come back after the victory,” Pacheco said per the video released by the White House.
“To celebrate with the ones I cherish it the most with – is definitely a feeling I will never forget, will cherish forever.”

Pacheco made some headlines late last week when he said that he would give his jersey number up to DeAndre Hopkins, were the NFL free agent wide receiver interested in joining the Chiefs. No word on a price tag for the Jersey number, though.
“Knowing Deandre Hopkins, he may not ask for the number, you know what I’m saying? (I’m a) Rookie, just got a Super Bowl ring, I’m willing to get another one with him,” Pacheco told the media.
“For me, I just know, whatever it takes to get him here and be on the team, let’s do it. Let’s make him happy.”
