Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire saw his role diminish down the stretch of the 2022 season, but still managed to contribute to the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win in February. Without his early season production, the outcome of a 17-game season might have been entirely different.
On a recent trip to the United Kingdom for the NFLPA’s Player Passport Tour, Edwards-Helaire was asked by Sky Sports reporter Cameron Hogwood about what the accomplishment meant to him. It was made clear in his response that it was an honor that he cherished deeply.
“It’s a surreal thing,” He explained. “Being able to have those words probably in front of your name or behind your name is literally something that I feel like not only people in America dream of but just being a Super Bowl champ, being able to just say you’re going to Disneyworld and like have those things done for you… but it’s a lot of hard work that goes into it.
“So being able to happily introduce myself as a Super Bowl champion is something I’ve always wanted to do and always strived for.”
Edwards-Helaire will have an opportunity in 2023 to help Kansas City get back to the big dance and defend that hard-won title that gives him so much pride. In time, he may find that it is twice as gratifying to introduce himself as a “two-time” Super Bowl champion as some of his other Chiefs teammates already can.
