KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Plenty of college graduates have and will accept their diplomas this month. But few, if any, will do so in more style than Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco.

The Chiefs’ 26-year-old running back returned to Rutgers to complete his degree and accept his diploma Tuesday night. In doing so, Pacheco donned both of his Super Bowl rings as he walked across the stage.

Pacheco majored in criminal justice at Rutgers, according to his bio on the program’s football roster page.

The Rutgers football program shared photos of Pacheco and head coach Greg Schiano to their social media pages.

He was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Chiefs and accepted his diploma just over three years later. Pacheco is set to enter his fourth NFL season with the Chiefs later this year.
