After starting his career with the Chiefs in 2017, Hunt spent five seasons with the Browns but made his return to Kansas City earlier this season when starting running back Isiah Pacheco was injured.

Hunt played in 13 games for the Chiefs in the regular season and picked up 728 yards off 200 carries (3.6 yards per carry). He also scored seven touchdowns. Hunt's regular season success has carried into the postseason. Against the Texans in the AFC Divisional Round, the Chiefs rusher gained 44 yards on eight carries and found the end zone. He hit pay dirt again in the AFC Championship while picking up 64 yards on 17 carries.

According to Shawn Childs, there is a 50% chance of Hunt scoring against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Childs projects Hunt to finish with 46 yards off 12 carries and one catch for seven yards. His fantasy projection is 9.26 points.

Now that the Chiefs' postseason run is over and they failed to three-peat, it's time to look back at Hunt's stats in the big game. After falling behind 24-0 by the end of the first half, the Chiefs were forced to abandon the running game. The veteran running back tallied just three carries for nine yards. Additionally, he corraled one reception for five receiving yards. Overall, it was a stinker from the entire Chiefs' running attack. Hunt failed to top 10 rushing yards and didn't find the end zone.
