I want to come back as AFC player of the year. That's what I've been wanting to do. I think I almost got there. Peyton Manning had an awesome season (in 2013), and he beat me out. ..."

As NFL.com notes, he's helped by a run-heavy Chiefs offense -- although the Chiefs could throw the ball more next season with wideout Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce available to threaten opposing defenses. Fortunately, Charles is also a major contributor as a receiver. ... As for playing another six seasons, the 28-year-old Charles still runs with fresh legs, but he's handled a huge workload over the last three years. Expecting four solid post-30 years is a reach.
