Welp. Looks like we need a RB.

Coleman?

There’s currently one player among the 2019 free agent class that has a significant connection to the Chiefs and is a strong possibility for the team. That player is Tevin Coleman, currently of the Atlanta Falcons.

Coleman was drafted by the Falcons in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of the University of Indiana. He was coming off his best season ever with 270 attempts, 2,036 rushing yards, and 15 touchdowns. While he was at Indiana, he was mentored by his running backs coach, a man by the name of Deland McCullough.

Does that name sound familiar? Well it should, because McCullough is currently the running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Coleman bought into coach McCullough’s system at Indiana and he reaped the rewards to the tune of being No. 2 in rushing yards in college football during the 2014 season (just a few hundred yards behind Melvin Gordon). He also finished that season avearging 7.5 yards per carry, just .5 behind former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt.

“Tevin is a superb athlete, an all-around athlete. I mean you’re talking about a kid who was recruited not only as a running back, but as a corner by a Big 10 school, and as a receiver,” McCullough explained of Coleman in an interview at his pro day.
