At just 26 years old, Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has accomplished quite a lot. A seventh-round selection in 2022, Pacheco earned the starting spot on a Super Bowl winning Chiefs team as a rookie, running for 830 yards and five touchdowns.
He endeared himself to fans prior to that season during his introductory press conference, where he immediately declared he was ready to compete and "take another grown man's job."
He built on that success in his second NFL season, racking up 935 yards and seven touchdowns en route to a second Super Bowl ring.
Pacheco was drafted out of Rutgers University, where as a four-year player he tallied 2,442 yards and 18 touchdowns. Despite a storied career with Rutgers, Pacheco had unfinished business - business that he settled on Tuesday.
Pacheco returned to Rutgers to walk at graduation - completing his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. Rutgers football shared photos on X showing Pacheco with his degree and donning the traditional cap and gown - with a Pacheco twist.
Pacheco wore both of his Super Bowl rings on his left hand, earning his degree in style. Pacheco also had three stoles, including one for being a Rutgers student athlete and another for being a first generation college graduate.
Pacheco only appeared in seven games for the Chiefs this season after fracturing his fibula, but did return for the Chiefs' playoff run, making it to their third consecutive Super Bowl before failing to three peat thanks to a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
