Football fans are abuzz over the remarkable performance of rookie Carson Steele, who stole the show in the NFL preseason.

The former UCLA Bruin made a lasting impression in the Chiefs’ preseason game against the Chicago Bears, despite the team’s 34-21 loss.

Steele’s impressive stats include four carries for 50 rushing yards, with a highlight-reel 36-yard touchdown that left fans in awe.

Early in the second quarter, Steele broke through the Chicago defense, using a devastating stiff-arm to plow through Roschon Johnson and reach the end zone. By the time he scored, Steele was surrounded by seven white jerseys, who collectively failed to contain him on his run.

Fans took to social media to rave about Steele’s performance, with one user declaring, “The future of the fullback position is here and his name is Carson Steele.”

Another fan raved, “CARSON STEELE IS A FREAKING DAWG. STIFF ARMING & RUNNING OVER DEFENDERS LEFT & RIGHT. #CHIEFS GOT A STEAL IN STEELE, WHO WAS AN UDFA.”

Despite being undrafted, the Super Bowl champions took a chance on Steele, and he has given the fanbase plenty of reasons to celebrate.
