Chiefs DT Chris Jones’ latest impression of Cris Collinsworth on ‘ManningCast’

Kansas City #Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones’ latest impression of Cris Collinsworth on ‘ManningCast’ | @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs were victorious last Thursday in their Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, allowing some extra time off between games. Players used the additional days away from the field in various ways, including an appearance on ESPN.

Chiefs All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones joined ESPN’s ManningCast on Monday night. The San Francisco 49ers’ defeat of the New York Jets took a backseat to Jones’ unique form of entertainment. Eli and Peyton Manning requested that Jones do an impression of NBC Sports commentator Cris Collinsworth calling the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of last year’s AFC Playoffs was the original version of the Collinsworth video that made the rounds on social media.

Jones’ brief moment as Collinsworth may not have been spot on, but it was comical enough to get the Manning brothers laughing with approval. Kansas City will return on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, visiting the Atlanta Falcons on September 22nd. Many will be curious to hear the response from the man, who will likely call the game alongside Mike Tirico.

WATCH: Chiefs DL Chris Jones shows off hilarious Cris Collinsworth impression

#Chiefs DL Chris Jones showed off his hilarious Cris Collinsworth impression during Kansas City’s victory over the Dolphins on Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs got even sweeter on Wednesday when a video of Chris Jones’ hilarious impression of Cris Collinsworth made the rounds on social media.

Jones, who helped lead the way for Kansas City’s white-hot defense, was seen wearing a large jacket and a toque on the sideline while joking around with his teammates. The conversation seems to have taken a turn towards Patrick Mahomes’ outstanding performance, and Jones let his Collinsworth impression fly while assessing the reigning MVP’s play.

“Listen, guys,” Jones started. “We’re talking about a guy Patrick Mahomes who’s been throwing the ball since he was eight years old.”

While his analysis may have been a tad short of what Collinsworth usually brings to his broadcasts, Jones’ effort in this bit was admirable.

With some luck, he may be able to further hone his impression of the decorated announcer on the sideline against the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round of the playoffs if Kansas City can put their bitter AFC rivals away early in Sunday’s matchup.
