The Kansas City Chiefs’ postseason journey gets underway against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. The return of Tyreek Hill will headline the night alongside the freezing-cold temperature, but according to Travis Kelce, his former teammate could be in for a warm welcome.
Kelce shared his thoughts on the Arrowhead Stadium reception Hill should receive on Saturday during Thursday’s post-practice press conference.
“I expect K.C. to give him nothing but love until he’s putting up the peace sign or something,” Kelce said. “Then you might hear a few boos, but who he was for this community speaks volumes. Every single kid’s camp, he made it his effort to go out and shake those hands and give those kids an experience that never has again.
“That’s why Tyreek (Hill) is loved in this city. He will forever be loved in the city because of who he was off the field in this community as well, man, so it’s going to be electric to see him. He’s always one of the best football players in the league when he’s on the field.”
Hill hosted many community events and basketball tournaments during his tenure with the Chiefs. He garnered attention from celebrities and fellow athletes to come to Kansas City to participate and work with children.
