The 6-foot, 228-pound bowling ball of a running back began his college career at Ball State before finishing up at UCLA.
The Chiefs got him as an undrafted free agent before last season, and he captured the hearts of fans in the 2024 preseason thanks to his flowing blonde hair and his powerful running style.
In the regular season, he had 56 carries for 183 yards (3.3 ypc) and seven catches for 26 yards. Steele didn't find the end zone.
Now, he'll have to find a new team.
