Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is loving life right now. The rookie capped off a superb season with a good performance in Sunday's 38-35 Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The running back carried the ball 15 times for 76 yards and a touchdown as he was a big reason why the Chiefs were able to overcome the Eagles.
Taken in the seventh-round of the 2022 draft, not much was expected of the running back. But when you have a coach in Andy Reid and perhaps the best quarterback in the game in Patrick Mahomes, good things can happen.

Isiah Pacheco Chiefs contract and bonuses
Being a seventh-round pick, Pacheco didn't cost the Chiefs much at all in terms of salary and cap hit. The running back signed a four-year, $3,739,108, per spotrac.com. His cap hit is under $800,000 and his salary for this year was just $705,000.
As far as bonuses go, the running back only had $19,777 as bonus money for the year, and it will stay that way for the duration of his current contract.
He finished his rookie season with 830 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 17 games. In the postseason, he had 197 rushing yards and a touchdown in three games.
What is Pacheco's net worth?
Given that he has now won a Super Bowl and was a driving force behind it, the running back's net worth will likely skyrocket in the offseason. As of Nov. 30, 2022, he had a net worth of $5 million.
By adding Super Bowl winner to his resume, we can safely assume that the number will only increase. That could come from a new contract (unlikely at this stage), endorsements and sponsorships through various companies.
Isiah Pacheco's stocks go up after stunning Super Bowl LVII performance
Isiah Pacheco's stocks will no doubt have gone up after his efforts in the Super Bowl. He totaled 15 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. While that doesn't sound like a big day on the ground, but he got important yards when the Chiefs needed them.
Still on a rookie deal, his payday will likely not be coming this year, as he may have to wait, but one thing is for certain: if his performances keep coming at this level, it will come.
It has been a whirlwind 12 months for the running back. From being drafted in the seventh round to then being a Super Bowl winner. Life comes at you fast, and for Pacheco, he is surely taking it all in his stride.
