Latavius Murray may not be a full-time starter anymore, but at the age of 34, he still has something to offer NFL teams.

Heading into his 11th NFL season, Murray is greatly defying expectations at a position that averages a league-low career length of just 2.57 seasons. He told Ty Dunne of Go Long, that he'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder and is driven to prove doubters wrong as the NFL's oldest active running back.

"Why should I be the one outlier that's 34?" Murray said. "Why should it be so hard for us [running backs] to get a job? That's motivating to me."

The Buffalo Bills' depleted backfield benefited from Murray's reliable presence last season. He was available for 16 games and even started four of them, amassing 300 yards and four touchdowns on 79 carries. He finished the year as the team's second-most productive back behind starter James Cook.

Murray has now tallied at least 300 yards and four touchdowns on the ground for 10 consecutive seasons. He's done so while providing quality pass protection and value as a receiver, having notched at least 15 catches and 100 receiving yards in all but one season.

The Kansas City Chiefs may want to give Murray a call as they look to bolster their roster while chasing an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat.

Thus far, Kansas City has opted against bringing back fellow veteran Jerick McKinnon following his three-year stint at Arrowhead. Without McKinnon in the mix, the Chiefs could use a steady hand behind starter Isiah Pacheco.

While Kansas City did re-sign tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire this offseason, Murray's ability to grasp a new offense and meaningfully contribute might be invaluable to a team that will have a target on its back every week and can't afford to slip up in 2024.
