Rookie running back Carson Steele was on fire in the Kansas City Chiefs’ final preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. The upstart rusher had four carries for 50 yards and scored one touchdown in a performance that will almost certainly earn him a spot on Kansas City’s 53-man roster.
The way Carson Steele pushed defensive players out of his way to get his route downfield was incredible, and the former UCLA star seemed unstoppable with the ball in his hands.
Former Chiefs offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz broke down Steele’s most impressive run in a film breakdown on Twitter after Kansas City’s loss to Chicago and told fans why the rookie is such an exciting prospect.
Carson Steele’s almost touchdown run was so beautiful. The Chiefs preseason sensation worked his way to RB2 this summer. He runs downhill fast and is physical through contact. This is well blocked and Steele does the rest. Crocky J would be proud. 🥄 🔊 pic.twitter.com/ft5w7UasFr

Steele isn’t expected to push starting running back Isiah Pacheco for playing time in the regular season but made a great case to be the Chiefs’ No. 2 option in the backfield with his exceptional efforts in the preseason.
