From the episode

Emmitt Johnson is somebody who has really, really stood out to me because I think he is what the Chiefs have not had for multiple years now. ... I think it's going to play into the regular season as well.

High-upside rookie offering needed finesse to Chiefs' backfield

Emmitt Johnson is a standout fifth-round rookie for the Chiefs who offers a different skill set than the team's recent downhill runners. His ability to create explosive plays and force missed tackles provides the finesse the Chiefs' running game has lacked, making him a strong late-round target.
