Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco runs with more than a purpose. The second-year running back runs with anger, and fans of the NFL have taken notice. 

Prior to last year’s Super Bowl, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid dubbed Pacheco as the Chiefs' "Energizer Bunny," while social media routinely discusses Pacheco’s running style.

"The funniest one … they said I run like I bite people," Pacheco said Wednesday. "I ain’t no zombie. That was crazy. So, that was one of the funniest ones. You said I run like I bite the ground, bite the grass. That’s crazy."

"It’s a great opinion, I guess, to have on the way I run. For me, it’s just being determined and understanding that I have a goal to achieve, and we want to get the job done."

Pacheco led the Kansas City rushing attack all season, gaining 935 yards and scoring seven touchdowns on the ground. 

Against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round, Pacheco had 97 rushing yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter.
