The Kansas City Chiefs are experiencing a lot of enthusiasm right now. For the upcoming campaign, the group has been putting together a solid squad. WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has been recently acquired, is now heading to the Arrowhead. The club hasn’t slowed down throughout the offseason. Now, a former Buccaneers’ RB will be in the equation for the upcoming campaign shortly.

The Kansas City Chiefs will get a new offensive firearm in the ammunition. Ronald Jones II, a free agent running back, has recently visited the franchise line-up. Moreover, this signing gives additional versatility alongside Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the running back unit. This also provides Patrick Mahomes with many carriers qualified to make big plays.

After 4 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ronald Jones, 24, enters the fray.

Throughout his 4 year-run in Tampa, Ronald Jones ran 488 attempts for 2,174 yards, with 4.5 yards per carry. He also recorded 76 receptions, 18 rush TDs, and 1 receiving touchdown.

The athlete has a fast driving technique that might suit well behind the Kansas City Chiefs and their revamped offensive line, but his pass risks and the tendency for drops prevented him from garnering the faith of the Buccaneers. However, Jones is only 24 years old, so he has more than enough chances to hone his capabilities and solidify himself as a reliable NFL regular.
