Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has found sledding rough in the NFL since a promising rookie season. His rushing yards have declined in each of his three years in the league on a total and per-game basis, and a high ankle sprain on Nov. 20 against the Chargers wound up ending his season.
On the injured reserve until Feb. 7 and inactive for the Super Bowl, Edwards-Helaire appeared to celebrate Kansas City’s victory apart from the team. The LSU product turned up in New York, where he walked in a fashion show during the city’s annual Fashion Week.
Edwards-Helaire represented Daniel’s Leather, a custom fur coat brand based on New York’s Lower East Side.
“As you guys know, we are the champions of fashion,” celebrity furrier Nadeem Waheed said in a video“. We have a real champion here… Clyde Edwards-Helaire is not just attending my show, he is walking in it.”
Edwards-Helaire expressed his appreciation for Daniel’s Leather but made no reference to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory.
Meanwhile, the two Kansas City players that outrushed Edwards-Helaire this season—running back Isiah Pacheco and quarterback Patrick Mahomes—wore the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory well back in Missouri.
