on Saturday"After two injury-plagued seasons with the team Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , former Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles was released after the 2016 season. He spent the next season with the Denver Broncos.Last October, Charles was signed to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but was released from the team just two weeks later.Since leaving Kansas City, Charles, 32, has had only 75 carries for 303 yards and a touchdown — plus 25 receptions for 136 yards.It hasn’t exactly been the kind of production he gave the Chiefs over the nine years of his Kansas City career, in which he amassed 9,717 yards from scrimmage and 63 touchdowns.But Charles isn’t ready to give up on the NFL just yet.“It’s in the air right now,” Charles told TMZ in an interview published early Sunday morning.“I’m going to sit down with my family and try to go through the process of what’s the best thing for me and us, and I’ll move on from there [with] what my wife and my advisors say.”Asked if he thought he had already played in his last NFL game Discount Darwin Thompson Jersey , Charles admitted it was possible.“It’s a possibility,” he said, “but I’m happy either way it goes.I’m happy in life. I’m happy right now. I’m just enjoying the ride while I can.”Photo by Jason Hanna/Getty ImagesThere is a possibility that Charles’ ride could still lead to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Charles acknowledged that while he has never been on a team that won a championship — which is sometimes seen as a black mark against players being considered for induction — he still thinks there is a case to be made.”I mean, some of my numbers look way better than some people already in Canton,” Charles told TMZ.And he is right.Over his career, Charles has averaged 5.4 yards per rushing attempt.Among running backs, that’s second only to Hall of Famer Marion Motley, and more than Hall of Fame running backs Jim Brown, Joe Perry, Gale Sayers and Barry Sanders — not to mention more recent inductee Terrell Davis.”That tells you what type of player I was Super Bowl Darwin Thompson Jersey ,” Charles said — already seeming to speak of his career in the past tense.“I gave it my all. Every time I touched the ball, I averaged six yards a carry basically.”That’s also true.As a Chiefs running back who was also dangerous as a pass receiver, Charles did average 6.0 yards per offensive touch.Over his career, he’s amassed over 10,000 yards from scrimmage — and among running backs who have reached that plateau, Charles trails only Hall of Famers Bobby Mitchell, Charley Taylor and Lenny Moore with 5.9 yards per touch on offense.That’s also more than Brown, Perry or Sanders, as well as Hall of Fame players like Marshall Faulk, Thurman Thomas Darwin Thompson Jersey nfl draft , Walter Payton and Marcus Allen.But Charles said that records are made to be broken, and that his legacy will be simple.“I hope that people can just see what what type of person I was from just playing football — on the field and off the field.” ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and Kareem Hunt entered the NFL as part of Kansas City’s 2017 draft class and quickly formed a tight friendship as they tried to build the Chiefs into a Super Bowl contender.Mahomes now must do it without Hunt, released over the weekend after a video surfaced that showed him knocking over and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway in February.“We had a close relationship,” Mahomes said Sunday after he threw four TD passes in Kansas City’s 40-33 victory over the Oakland Raiders.“I saw the stuff that happened. We don’t do those things. At the same time I focused on our organization, the Chiefs. I know we have to keep moving forward and going out there to win football games if we want to have success this season.”The win over the Raiders capped a roller coaster of emotions for Chiefs players, who watched Hunt get sent home from the facility on Friday after TMZ posted the video. Hunt is shown being restrained several times by friends before pushing a woman to the ground, when he proceeds to kick her. Police were called to the scene during the Feb. 10 incident, no charges were filed and no punishment was handed out by the NFL.That changed soon after the video was posted, with the league placing Hunt on the Commissioner Exemption List and then the Chiefs releasing Hunt shortly after that.Coach Andy Reid declined to elaborate on the move Xavier Williams Jersey , saying only it was difficult and praising his players for how they dealt with any distraction.“We made the decision that we made,” Reid said. “We put out a statement to explain the situation. As we’ve done in the past, when things come up that’s where we go. We handle it within and we handle it with the person that it affects. We’ve done all of those things.”Hunt led the NFL in rushing as a rookie with 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns in helping Kansas City make the playoffs. He had run for 824 yards this season, with seven touchdowns rushing and seven more receiving, in helping the Chiefs (10-2) race out to a lead in the AFC West.Now Kansas City must go through the stretch run of the season and the playoffs without one of its most important offensive pieces and popular locker room personality.“That’s my brother,” said Spencer Ware, who replaced Hunt as the starting running back. “It’s a tough situation. But like I said, the men in this circle, the men in our locker room Patrick Mahomes Jersey , the organization, Chiefs kingdom — we got one goal to win the Super Bowl. We got to stay distraction-free. I don’t have anything else to say about that.”They managed to survive just fine against the struggling Raiders (2-10) with Ware rushing 14 times for 47 yards and a 1-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-goal direct snap. Damien Williams added 38 yards on five carries, Tyreek Hill gained 37 on an end-around and a lateral, and Mahomes ran for 52 on his own.The Chiefs finished with 174 yards rushing in all, their second-highest total of the season.“It was great to get Spencer back in there working on more of a full-time basis, as opposed to being a relief pitcher or third-down player,” Reid said. “Williams then stepped in and had a couple of nice runs.”
