There's a new NFL star after Thursday night's season-opener -- and it's not Angry Tom.

It's Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Kareem Hunt, who helped his team scorch the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots with a more-than-impressive debut in a 42-27 spanking of Tom Brady and his team.
