Priest did that in 14 games, and if not for that dirty-ass horsecollar tackle, he likely sets records for all-purpose yards that are never touched. He was a patient, tireless runner, a tremendous receiver, and great at blitz pick up. I've never seen a back with better vision, and he was near GOAT status at the goal line.
Jamaal clearly had the home run ability that Holmes lacked, but 2002 Priest Holmes was the most complete back the Chiefs ever had.

Why did you pick 2012 as JC's best season? 2013 was better and even 2010 could be argued.
Having said that I voted Priest. Watching him work thru the line was a thing of beauty. I think he suffers from recency bias.
