WATCH: Chiefs’ Byron Pringle explodes for 102-yard kick return touchdown

Pringle made a huge play on special teams for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs may have found themselves a new starting kick returner.

Dave Toub has tried a handful of different players at return specialist this season. Mecole Hardman, Rashad Fenton and Byron Pringle all have packages where they’ve been in as punt and kick returners. So far they hadn’t seen much success. Today, one of those players finally notched a game-changing play as a return specialist.

Pringle exploded for a 102-yard kick return for a touchdown, responding in a big way after a field goal by the Denver Broncos. Check out the big play from Pringle down below:

Pringle did a good job of reading his blocks and finding a lane to take this football to the house. He had key blocks from LB Dorian O’Daniel and WR Marcus Kemp, who was elevated to the 53-man roster today from the practice squad. Both O’Daniel and Kemp have been key contributors on special teams for this team for a long time.

If Pringle could emerge as a kick returner, with Hardman simultaneously developing as a pass-catcher in the Chiefs’ offense, it’d be a huge development for this team. At the very least, Pringle has earned another look at kick returner moving forward for Kansas City.
