Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub already tabbed rookie RB Isiah Pacheco as the guy at kicker returner. On Tuesday, Toub confirmed his prior comments, explaining that Pacheco will be given every possible opportunity to earn the starting job.
“He’s going to be the guy,” Toub told reporters. “We’re going to start him off. Like I said last time, we’re going to give him every chance to be that guy. I just think he’s got all the attributes to be a good kick returner, and he’s gotten better and better out at practice. He’s doing little things better, and he’s catching the ball great. You know now we got to see what happens with live bullets when guys are coming down there to take your head off, it’s a little bit different. We’ll see how he handles it.”
