Jones’ decision gives Kansas City a power-and-speed, youth-and-experience combination that could end up being the best in the AFC West, if not the NFL.

“We’ve got better competition than last year at this point and that is the bottom line,” Haley said. “The more competition you can bring in at each spot, the better team you have a chance to be.”

The only question about Charles was his durability. At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds there were concerns of whether he could hold up over an NFL season.

That’s where Jones comes in.

Jones ran for over 1,300 yards the year before, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Now, he’s going to share the backfield with another 1,000-yard back.

I can't wait for the season to start.... last year we were wondering about Charles hitting 2 thousand yards, could still happen. But a combination equally that would be reason to be ecstatic. No reason to be optimistic my ***.
