It’s known these days that Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Kareem Hunt is a special player, but Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vincent Williams had a hilarious way of showing his respect. The two players took the field against one another on Sunday as the Steelers eked out a 19-13 win. Then on Monday, Williams tweeted out a compliment we just had to share.
S/O to Hunt tho that guy is strong as a bull. No way he should have been playing in college last year, he runs like he's 30 with 5 kids.

Hunt, who entered Week 6 as the NFL’s leading rusher (by a lot) had the worst game on the ground of his young career. Pittsburgh’s defensive front dominated Kansas City’s banged-up offensive line, and there just weren’t any running lanes to speak of. As a result, Hunt finished with just 21 yards on nine carries. However, the rookie out of Toledo made up for it by catching five passes for 89 yards.
So far this year, Hunt has totaled 885 yards and six touchdowns.
