My Take
Isiah Pacheco, nicknamed "Pop," is the kind of story I cannot resist. A seventh-round pick out of Rutgers, drafted practically as an afterthought, then winning back-to-back Super Bowls almost immediately with Kansas City. That is not luck; that is a running back who refuses to go down on first contact and turns small gaps into momentum. Coming out of Vineland, New Jersey, he carries the chip of someone who was overlooked and never forgot it. I value underdog grit over pedigree every time, and Pacheco embodies it. He is proof that draft position rarely measures hunger.
