Travis Kelce Emotionally Shares About Chris Jones After Returning From Aunt’s Funeral
In the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest victory, the focus was not only on the performance on the field, but also on the emotional story of star defensive end Chris Jones. Just hours before taking the field, Jones had to attend his aunt’s funeral in Mississippi, then immediately returned to play with his teammates.
Longtime teammate Travis Kelce couldn’t hide his emotion as he spoke about Jones after the game:
“One of the greatest brothers, one of the people we’ve always loved. I’ve known Chris for almost 10 years and I truly love who he is — what he stands for, the values he stands for, what he brings to this community and this team, and the leadership he provides. To have to go through a day like this, we’re still going to find a way to fight for him, whether Chris is here or not. We love Chris and our hearts go out to his family, and everyone in Mississippi. A star on the field, and a star in life.”
Jones’ dedication and resilience were evident not only in his every play, but also in how he dealt with personal loss. His story is a testament to the Chiefs spirit: not just a team, but a family.
