From the episode

Same way that the Chiefs last year, like, people wanted to be like, Kareem Hunt's actually playing pretty good. Look at his success rate. And I was like, dude, his success rate's good because there's nobody in the box.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Hunt's success rate was inflated by empty boxes; regresses when hitting defenders.

Kareem Hunt's success rate with the Chiefs last year was inflated by the lack of defenders in the box due to the passing game; once he hit a defender, his production became "three yards and a cloud of dust." The source used Hunt as a cautionary example of how offensive scheme can mask a running back's true ability, contrasting him with more dynamic backs who can create space once in motion.
