Over the last few years, the Kansas City Chiefs have been making significant strides in the NFL, with players making headlines for their skills and performances.
Amid the team’s success, internal controversies continue to spice up the sports news. The latest to rock the franchise is Tyreek Hill’s noticeably vehement reaction over the selection of the team’s jersey number for their newest player, Isiah Pacheco.
The legendary jersey number 10, once worn by Tyreek Hill, sparked conversation amidst fans and players alike when it was handed over to the rookie running back, Isiah Pacheco.
Renowned for his impressive performances while donning the number 10 jersey, Hill, who has since been traded to the Miami Dolphins, felt “disrespected” when Isiah Pacheco was given his old number.

Speaking at the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Hill stated, “Kansas City’s got a real good running back. He’s a dawg. You can hear and see every step he takes he runs so hard,” Hill said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast . . . I did feel disrespected when they gave him 10 though. I didn’t like that. There’s only one 10 now. There should only be one 10 in your heart.”
The Chiefs selected Isiah Pacheco in the seventh round of the 2022 draft. Despite being a relatively fresh figure in the NFL landscape, Pacheco proved his abilities by amassing 2,139 yards from scrimmage, scoring 14 touchdowns, and helping the Chiefs bag two Super Bowls in just two seasons.
