Charles to the Patriots?

And Charles is not the Chiefs "best" or most important offensive skill player.

It's a tie between Maclin and Kelce, although I lean Maclin at this point.

I think to describe Charles as a slasher and cutting is off the mark.

His game is about speed and burst, though he does have a little more power than he's given credit for.

He doesn't make people miss.
He finds a seam and hits it.

He is a bike rider runner.


His cuts are sometimes more leans

I agree. And that's what makes his second ACL injury even more concerning that his first.

He's not a straight ahead, power type runner.

He appears to be off-balance when he runs but that's, as you stated, him leaning, which put pressure on his knees.

This here. He will run around you but he isnt shy to run over you.
