The Kansas City Chiefs have grown as a brand over the last five years, becoming one of the more recognizable NFL teams globally. I mean, just look at their turnout at a game home away from home in Germany this year. Most of those fans were rooting for the Chiefs.

A large reason why is because of the two Super Bowls they have won in two years, along with another they visited against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sure, that helps, but it also helps to have players who are very marketable, like Patrick Mahomes, who kept it petty Sunday night, and Travis Kelce, who happens to be with Taylor Swift.

But one other player has just connected with the fans more than anyone could have imagined. That would be running back Isiah Pacheco, who runs every play like it could be his last.

After the big win over the Buffalo Bills, he connected with a young fan in the stands who happened to be a fan of the winning team. It was a special moment that saw both of them getting hyped for one another.

Pacheco has also connected with Chiefs fans because of his story. To national media, he somewhat came out of nowhere, as he was a seventh-round pick just last offseason. Fans liked his story of being a late pick in the draft and then following the incredible training camp he had.

This is another reason why, too – he embraces fans in the stands, especially young fans. And look what he's doing; on Sunday, he was basically the guy to lead the Chiefs to a win to go to their sixth-straight AFC Championship.
