If the previous decade’s Kansas City Chiefs were involved in any high-scoring shootout, one could be rest assured of a big play or five, courtesy of All-Pro talent Jamaal Charles. Equal parts dangerous as both runner and receiver, Arrowhead’s then-rookie illustrated positional versatility, motioning from the backfield to the perimeter, turning his appetizing one-on-one against a linebacker into a downfield reception, followed by a juke-and-run that encouraged a 36-yard, game-opening score. Top-of-the-league numbers would soon be on the horizon, but in limited opportunities, Charles dazzled in a 54-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 30, 2008, turning five touches into 67 yards and a touchdown.
