The Kansas City Chiefs‘ recent years have undoubtedly been marked by success and satisfaction. Although their most recent Super Bowl appearance didn’t go as planned, the team, led by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has solidified itself as one of the best in recent times. While Kareem Hunt has yet to hoist a Vince Lombardi Trophy, he is determined to achieve that goal this NFL season.

In pursuit of his goal, the seasoned Chiefs running back delivered a clear message to his coach, stating that he will do whatever it takes for his team to secure the coveted championship ring for his career.

“I’m just doing whatever Coach [Andy] Reid and those guys ask me to do, man,” he said via Arrowhead Pride. “I’ll just play my role — go out there [to] do whatever [I can] to help the team win.”

At Kansas City’s greatest moment of glory, Hunt was not part of that roster, as he had taken his talents to the Cleveland Browns. Upon his return, he had the opportunity to play in the most recent Super Bowl, which ended in a defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Despite not securing the title in New Orleans, Hunt feels deep down that they will soon have another chance to achieve it: “The culture is just great,” he said. “It didn’t end the way we wanted it to. But we’ve got a lot of work to do — and I feel like we’ve got another good shot at it.”

The frustration of the defeat in the most recent Super Bowl

Hunt was not part of the process behind the recent titles won by Andy Reid and his players, so the game against the Eagles this past February represented a huge opportunity for him to secure his first NFL championship.

The former Toledo running back couldn’t hide his frustration after failing to defeat Jalen Hurts’ team in New Orleans, but he remains confident that he will secure the title soon.

“You never want to go to the Super Bowl and lose,” Hunt stated. “But I’m just grateful I got to experience that. I definitely want to get back there and see how it is on the other side.”

Hunt’s enthusiasm to compete again

If there’s one position on the field that demands exceptional physical effort and performance, it’s that of the running backs. For that reason, Kareem Hunt knows he must take the best care of himself, and he eagerly awaits training camp to kick off the upcoming season in optimal condition.

“I am just taking care of my body, working every day and eating right,” he explained. “I feel like it’ll help me in the long run. So my body feels great. I’m excited to have an actual training camp — and be there when everything gets running.”
