Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs made a quiet move following the 2026 NFL Draft, but one that could quickly turn heads if it plays out the right way.

Among their undrafted free agent signings, Kansas City added running back Terion Stewart, a prospect who brings one of the most unique profiles in this year’s class.
At first glance, nothing about the signing seems headline-worthy. But a deeper look reveals why Stewart is far from an ordinary addition.
Standing at just under 5-foot-6, he enters the league as one of the smallest running backs in recent memory. In a position often defined by size and power, his stature immediately sets him apart.
Yet what he lacks in height, he more than compensates for with elite elusiveness.
According to Pro Football Focus, Stewart graded out as the most elusive running back in college football history, a remarkable distinction that highlights his ability to make defenders miss at an unprecedented level.
And his game isn’t built on quickness alone. Despite his smaller frame, Stewart has shown surprising toughness, consistently breaking tackles and fighting through contact to extend plays.

His football journey backs that up. A standout in Sandusky, Ohio, he rushed for over 6,100 yards in high school before continuing his development at Bowling Green. He later transferred to Virginia Tech, where he showcased flashes of his playmaking ability, including a 469-yard rushing campaign in his final season.
Still, the path ahead won’t be easy.
The Chiefs’ backfield is already crowded, meaning every carry and every rep will carry weight. Stewart will need to prove quickly that his unique skill set can translate to the NFL level.
But that uniqueness may be his greatest advantage.
In a league constantly searching for mismatches and explosiveness, a player who can consistently make defenders miss always has a chance.
For Kansas City, this is a low-risk addition with intriguing upside.
For Stewart, it’s an opportunity to turn one of the most unusual profiles in the draft class into one of the most compelling success stories of the offseason.
