Chiefs waived RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

I say don't draft first round running backs unless you are convinced they are a generational player. CEH was never that.

Edwards-Helaire was more like a 2nd round selection. Chiefs picked him at 32nd. They needed RB depth in 2018 after running Hunt 270+ times as a rookie. Edwards-Helaire was coming off a 1,400 rushing yard (1,850 YFS) season at LSU.

803 rushing/297 receiving (1,100 YFS) in 13 games as a rookie. He wasn’t a bad selection at all at the time. Injuries and personal circumstances kind of set him back.
