The Kansas City Chiefs host players with some of the most vibrant personalities in the NFL. From Travis Kelce to Chris Jones, the team’s stars are at once likable, relatable, and surprisingly down-to-earth despite Kansas City’s prolific success in recent seasons.
Second-year running back Isiah Pacheco is no different. Drafted by the Chiefs out of Rutgers in 2022, the New Jersey native quickly became a fan-favorite in Kansas City and has blended in with the longer-established stars on the team’s roster.
He put his personality on full display during the Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs, wearing a microphone to give fans an inside look at his joie de vivre on gameday.
"We're gonna make it quiet today!"

Pacheco can be seen hyping up his teammates, interacting with opponents, and taking in the moment during this clip that had Chiefs Kingdom buzzing on social media last night.
Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to his mic’d-up appearance:

I love Pacheco, such a great dude. I’d buy a jersey if I had faith he’d be here longer than a couple more years. https://t.co/X4JLPOLaqW
