Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is known for running hard and as fast as he can. His style of running is so unique that people describe it as running like “he bites people.” (Seriously.)
In case you’re not familiar with Isiah Pacheco’s game, the 24-year-old was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2022 Draft. Pachecho’s high motor quickly earned him his first NFL start by Week 7. At the end of his first season, he had 960 yards from scrimmage, five touchdowns, and 197 yards in three playoff games. His playoff yards are the fourth-most postseason rushing yards recorded by a rookie drafted outside the top 100 in the Super Bowl era.
In other words, the guy is NICE. But his running style is the opposite of nice. In fact, it’s seemingly ANGRY. It’s so angry that people have started to find unique ways to describe it. Ahead of his AFC Championship matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, the things fans have come up with to describe Pacheco’s running style came up during media availability.
He’s heard them all.

Pacheco has taken the jokes in stride and had himself a good laugh about the things people have come up with. Yet, one TikTok fan account believes that they might know why Pacheco runs the way he does.
The potential reason will hit you in the feels.
