ESPN take on CEH

Here's the CEH part from an ESPN article on the Chief's win:
Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was another offensive star. The Chiefs spent more than a half-billion dollars extending the contracts of Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, but their most important move for 2020 might have been drafting Edwards-Helaire in the first round.
Edwards-Helaire rushed for 138 yards, and his 27-yard touchdown run in the third quarter was impressive. The LSU product made a couple of cuts to weave through the Houston defense on his way to the end zone.
On that play and others, the Texans had difficulty bringing down the 5-foot-8, 209-pound Edwards-Helaire in the open field.
"The biggest thing in training camp is you don't always get to see the hitting aspect, whether a guy is easy to tackle or whether he's brought down easy," Kelce said. "That was shown today. He's a tough son-of-a-buck. For how tall he is, man, he's got the strength of somebody my size. He runs the ball like no one I've ever seen at that size, and it's fun to play with. It's infectious when you see him playing his tail off and running his tail off, you want to go out there and block for him and make plays as well."
Edwards-Helaire became the Chiefs' primary back when Damien Williams opted out of the season shortly before the start of training camp amid the coronavirus pandemic. Williams led the Chiefs in rushing last season with 498 yards, but Edwards-Helaire reached about one-quarter of that total in his first NFL game.

Couldn’t be happier for that young man

He's such a threat. Just wait.

This. I am so happy for him. He is a beast. I hope he remains healthy and has a long career and gets all that he has busted his arse for.

He fell into the perfect situation. I think Clyde and Fournette have big seasons this year. Both have all the pieces around them to succeed

It’s insane to think Clyde’s going to “open up” that offense even more than it’s been before...but he is. When they decide to throw to him, they will be unstoppable.

They did throw to him once yesterday, and Clyde got SMACKED and didnt get to make the completion.
He also spun out of a tackle FROM JJ WATT, but was immediately tackled after.

Over one-quarter ESPN. Over by a decent amount.

Amazing young man!!!! And to think, a little blocking or some goal line spread and he could have finished with approximately 145yd/3TD.... DAMN!!

I wish I could upvote that article ten more times. Great guy and I hope he has one hell of a career in the NFL.

Hell yeah! Always underestimated, and he uses that chip to never give up and out work and out hustle the others. Glad for CEH. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Icongeauxtigers.png)

I have to say that probably one of favorite moments of 2019 was CEH after the Bama game and the emotion between him and his coaches and father. That's sport, competition and perseverance in it's purest form.
I love Clyde's heart and determination and I'm happy for his success.

SO well deserved. I have a feeling that Burrow, Jefferson and the rest of the boys will follow suit.

Leading the league in rushing. :)

You've been Wally Pipp'd
Look it up if you aren't familiar with the name. It will quickly make sense.

This will be his most rushing yards in a game this season oddly enough. And good for about 7 rushing tds reg season.

And seems to be a better person than he is a football player.
