Khalil Herbert Bio

Khalil Herbert is an NFL running back from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, born April 21, 1998. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 212 pounds, he played at American Heritage High School in Plantation before beginning his college career at Kansas. Herbert spent four seasons with the Jayhawks, then transferred to Virginia Tech for the 2020 season. His final college campaign brought third-team All-ACC recognition, and his work as a kickoff returner complemented his role in the Hokies’ rushing offense.

The Chicago Bears selected Herbert in the sixth round, 217th overall, of the 2021 NFL Draft. He entered the league as a compact, versatile back whose own draft-day description emphasized inside and outside running, receiving ability and special-teams value. Herbert later played for Cincinnati in 2024 and the New York Jets in 2025. San Francisco signed him to a one-year deal on August 20, 2026, but the 49ers released him on August 30, 2026; that is his latest verified team transaction as of September 14, 2026.
