 Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson toted the rock 416 times last season, breaking the previous NFL record for most rushing attempts. The previous record holder -- former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson -- carried the ball 410 times during the '98 season. Unfortunately, he suffered a devastating injury early the next season....

Bennett, Ross, and Smith are capable backups, and should help Larry carry the load. I highly doubt any of them could be a starter, at least for the long term, and be comparable at all to Johnson. That said, the Chiefs have an excellent RB situation, and are fortunate.

Fist off, i think LJ is going to be just fine, because he doesn't seem to take to many bad hits, for the most part he lays the hit, and I think he is going to have a phenomenal year, escpecially if he doesn't get his contract this year then I think he will run even harder to give the Chiefs no choice but to give him a new contract, or trade him which God help us if we lose LJ.
