STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Hunt's KC success rate is scheme-driven; he and Pacheco had just one 20+ yard run on 180+ carries.

Kareem Hunt's high success rate in Kansas City (seventh EPA per rush, eighth success rate) is largely attributable to the team's offensive scheme and push up front rather than his individual playmaking; he and Isaiah Pacheco combined for only one 20+ yard run on 180+ carries last year, with Hunt's rate of gaining 10+ yards at just 8.5%. JJ Zachariason notes that Hunt 'gets the yards that are given to him, but he can't do much more after that,' suggesting his efficiency is scheme-dependent rather than talent-driven.
