25 Jamaal Charles, RB

The Kansas City Star reports that Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles isn't worried about rookie running back Knile Davis taking away playing time from him this season. “There’s a short life for running backs,” Charles said. “I’m not worried about (Davis). He’s my teammate. I love the guy. I want him to come in and do great. I wish that to be known. But at the same time, I’ve got a family to feed. My main job is to stay on top of things as much as possible.” Charles likes his chances to stay on top this season given the new offense in Kansas City under coach Andy Reid. "This offense might be the best thing that ever happened to me,” Charles said. “I think this offense will get me open. They’re going to throw me the ball more. I think I’ll continue to stack Pro Bowls on Pro Bowls if I can stay healthy. "

Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles said he's prepared to do more work as a receiver this season playing for new coach Andy Reid. "I know my role in my mind will be doing lots of stuff with the offense," Charles said Thursday. "I’m like [Brian] Westbrook and [LeSean] McCoy as far as how I fit into his offense. ... I definitely need to do more studying and knowing the scheme of the defense, especially playing a position like wide receiver. I have to go in there and try to read the defense. Last year, I didn’t have any catches out of the backfield. I feel like this year it will be more.”
