His uncle happens to be a big Kansas City Chiefs fan
While Keyes already played for a team named the Chiefs, he also does have a connection to our Chiefs. When speaking with reporters following the draft, Keyes revealed that his uncle is a really big Chiefs fan. He also told them that something really cool happened on Friday.
“The pre-draft process, I talked to the Chiefs a lot,” Keyes said. “I had a feeling the Chiefs would potentially draft me. It really hit me when I got the call from the Chiefs because just last night, I was getting a haircut. My uncle is a big Chiefs fan, and I had the cape on. He put the big Kansas City Chiefs cape on me when I was getting a haircut, so when I got the call, that’s the only thing I could think about. (Kansas City) being the Super Bowl Champs, just made me hungry and ready to get to work.”
How about that? I bet Keyes will be getting his haircut while wearing that Chiefs cape a lot more often now.
