NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has understood the value of second chances since fumbling on the first carry of his NFL debut in 2017.
"I thought my career was done and I was like, ‘Man, I'm a bust. It's over with," Hunt recalled on Tuesday as he fielded questions about playing in his first Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday.
As Hunt remembers it, Chiefs coach Andy Reid wasted little time seeking him out on the sideline at New England after his early turnover.
"He was like, 'Relax, man. Calm down. When we get this ball back, we're giving it right back to you,’" Hunt said. "So that was another second chance right there. And I'm like, 'Wow, I got to make the most of it.’"
