Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco recently held his one-day youth football event at Lincoln Prep. The former Rutgers football standout continued his efforts to give back to the community and encourage inner-city youth through the sport.

“This means a lot to me, the kids coming out here, their parents,” Pacheco said, according to the Kansas City Star. “There are a lot of kids running around with your name on their shirt.”

For some kids, it’s a dream to attend these camps. We’ll introduce you to a group that made this possible for young men from the inner city. Only on @KSHB41 at 10pm. pic.twitter.com/warOqBHvRI

A seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Pacheco has shown the ability to overcome the odds and succeed. He began his career as the eventual starter and secured two Super Bowl titles. He was slowed last season with injuries but returned to contribute on the journey to Super Bowl LIX.

“I’m doing great,” Pacheco said when asked about his health ahead of the 2025 season. “We’re excited about this year coming up.”

Pacheco collected 1,765 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first two seasons before the fractured fibula in Week 2 last season against the Cincinnati Bengals cost him nine games. He is awaiting word on whether the team will pick up the option on his rookie contract.
