Alontae Taylor wore a microphone at Friday’s New Orleans Saints training camp practice, and he made sure not to disappoint those listening in. The third-year cornerback has embraced his role defending the slot in Dennis Allen’s defense, and he took time to check in on his less-experienced teammates like rookie corner Kool-Aid McKinstry and recently-signed backup Mac McCain.

It’s clear Taylor brings a lot of energy to each practice session. He’s a fast talker and shared his take on everything from the DJ’s music choices (“We need to be listening to, like, some Alicia Keys. Anthony Hamilton. Fantasia, for sure,”) to his teammates’ jersey numbers (“Four two. That Jackie Robinson though,” he laughed to McCain).

His coaches sought him out to model techniques for other defensive backs, and he was active in dapping up other players as they took turns hitting the practice field. Taylor is obviously a well-liked member of the locker room. With McKinstry filling in for Marshon Lattimore after the veteran was sidelined with a hip flexor injury, odds are good that Taylor will continue to play a big role in the Saints defense in 2024.

WATCH: Chiefs DL Chris Jones divulges his affection for ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay

#Chiefs DL Chris Jones was heard talking about ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay during a mic’d up segment at Super Bowl LVIII.

Chris Jones is one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ most vibrant characters and has never been shy about expressing himself in press conferences or on the sideline during games.

His larger-than-life personality has made him a fan favorite in Kansas City since the Chiefs drafted him in 2016, and Jones’ joie de vivre was on full display during a mic’d up moment from Super Bowl LVIII that was posted to social media channels this week.

In the clip, Jones can be seen on the bench talking to his teammates about his affection for a famous movie director, though he couldn’t quite remember his name.

Transformers director Michael Bay, it turns out, is one of Jones’ favorite people.

While this revelation may come as a surprise to many fans in Kansas City, Jones’ friendship with Bay was made public last year while the defensive tackle held out from team activities in hopes of securing a new contract.

Mics picked up the awesome message that Travis Kelce had for Chris Jones after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win

What being a great teammate sounds like.

Heading into the season, the contract situation for Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was a major concern. He sat out all of training camp and the first game of the regular season before striking a one-year deal with the Chiefs.

His possible final game with Kansas City was in a Super Bowl-winning effort against the 49ers, and Travis Kelce made sure to let Jones know just how highly he thinks of him.

In mic’d-up footage from NFL Films’ Inside the NFL, we could hear as Kelce and Jones shared a celebratory moment on the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Kelce could be heard saying:

“Way to believe, dawg. Way to lead us. You’re the greatest to ever do it in my eyes.”

Jones responded by telling Kelce that he loved him. It was a great moment that fans particularly enjoyed to hear.

Chiefs fans couldn’t get enough of Isiah Pacheco’s mic’d up segment from win vs. Bills

#Chiefs fans went crazy for this epic mic’d up segment featuring RB Isiah Pacheco.

The Kansas City Chiefs host players with some of the most vibrant personalities in the NFL. From Travis Kelce to Chris Jones, the team’s stars are at once likable, relatable, and surprisingly down-to-earth despite Kansas City’s prolific success in recent seasons.

Second-year running back Isiah Pacheco is no different. Drafted by the Chiefs out of Rutgers in 2022, the New Jersey native quickly became a fan-favorite in Kansas City and has blended in with the longer-established stars on the team’s roster.

He put his personality on full display during the Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs, wearing a microphone to give fans an inside look at his joie de vivre on gameday.

Pacheco can be seen hyping up his teammates, interacting with opponents, and taking in the moment during this clip that had Chiefs Kingdom buzzing on social media last night.

Mics picked up the Chiefs’ Nick Bolton telling teammates a fake punt was coming right before the Bills tried it

Football IQ was on display.

The missed field goal with under two minutes to go from Bills kicker Tyler Bass was obviously the decisive moment in the Chiefs’ AFC divisional round win. But one of the stranger coaching decisions came earlier in the quarter when the Bills tried a fake punt with Damar Hamlin running a direct snap.

The Chiefs literally knew the play was coming. Just listen to what Nick Bolton said before the play.

In this week’s edition of Inside the NFL, mic’d-up footage showed the Chiefs linebacker telling all his teammates on the punt-coverage unit to watch for a fake even though Buffalo was punting from their own 30. It’s a good thing they listened because the Chiefs were clearly ready for the play.

Hamlin was stopped shy of the first-down marker, and the Chiefs took over with excellent field position. They could have extended their lead on that drive, but Mecole Hardman’s fumble out of the end zone gave the Bills new life.

Still, the mic’d-up footage showed just how predictable the Bills were down the stretch. Fans had thoughts on the video as well.

WATCH: Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed mic’d up in win vs. Dolphins

Check out this video of #Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed mic’d up in Kansas City’s win over the #Dolphins in the Wild Card round of the AFC playoffs.

His outing against Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill made headlines after Kansas City’s win. Sneed’s impressive outing was documented in a mic’d up segment that made the rounds on social media this week.

From his interactions with Hill before the coin toss to the words he exchanged with the All-Pro receiver during the game, Sneed’s personality shined through in this segment, giving fans a glimpse into what it might be like to share the field with him on Sundays.

While no video can fully do justice to the larger-than-life persona that Sneed takes on when he steps on the field, clips like this are a good way for Chiefs Kingdom to better understand one of its favorite players ahead of Kansas City’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
