Jerick McKinnon is a good signing for KC. The former 3rd round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, might not make the team, but he provides competition for Darwin and Chiefs might come back to him if we have a RB injury.
His injury history really took place in 2018 (ACL tear, Grade 3) and 2019 (LCL Tear, Grade 3). Last year in 2020, he played entire season and he wasn't an injury problem before 2018.
He's 5-9, 205, ran a 4.41 forty, strong with 32 reps on bench and has hop with a 40.5 inch vertical and 11 foot broad jump.
Like many NFL players, he was a QB in high school, but he also played QB/RB at Georgia Southern. He had 2,867 yards rushing, 32 TDs, and 768 passing yards in 2012 and 2013, so no threat to Patrick.
In 2016 for Minnesota Vikings, he rushed for 539 yards, 2 TDs, 43 REC, 256 yards and 1 TD.
In 2017 for Vikings, he rushed for 570 yards, 3 TDs, 51 REC, 421 yards, and 2 TDs.
in 2018, 49ers liked him well enough to give him a 4 year $30 M contract but then he sat out two years with injury.
Last year for 49ers, he rushed for 319 yards, 5 TDs, 33 REC, 253 yards, and 1 TD.
Not able to find anything yet, but I am sure KC signed him to a very low cost contract.
