The Kansas City Chiefs have waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was selected as the last pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. At 25, he was having a challenging season, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry with a total of 223 rushing yards and one touchdown.

Edwards-Helaire expressed gratitude to the Chiefs and their fans after his release, reflecting on his journey from LSU's national championship team to the NFL. Despite some early success, injuries and the rise of Isiah Pacheco limited his role, leading to his departure as the Chiefs aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
