The Chiefs’ UDFA running back/fullback Carson Steele has been a star of the 2024 preseason.

Michael Obermuller further highlighted what Steele has proven thus far:

According to Football Database, Steele finished his first NFL preseason with 11 carries for 87 yards, 2 touchdowns and 6 first downs — which yields a yards per carry average of 7.91. The summer standout also registered 3 runs that went for 10-plus yards, including his 31-yard long.

As a receiver, Steele’s longest catch went for 6 yards, although his total yardage through the air was a -3 because of a poorly blocked screen. More importantly, the bubble candidate has displayed versatility on special teams, averaging 32.5 yards per kick return with 1.5 ST tackles and another tackle after an offensive turnover.

It will be interesting to see if Steele makes the 53-man roster and what kind of role he has on the offense if he does.
