Andy Reid has become one of the most decorated coaches in the NFL after guiding the Kansas City Chiefs to their first back-to-back Super Bowl championships. The cheeseburger-loving head coach is a beloved figure in and out of Arrowhead Stadium and is one with his players in celebrating their Super Bowl LVIII win.
However, he gave a clear reminder to his players days after they won one of their most impressive Super Bowls yet.
Andy Reid warns Kansas City Chiefs players to not overdo Super Bowl celebrations
Chiefs fans who went to the team’s Super Bowl LVII victory parade will remember the moment Jaylen Watson left the ceremony on a wheelchair due to being intoxicated.
According to Daily Mail’s Jake Nisse, Reid didn’t like the optics of the entire thing and would want his team to keep things in moderation this year:
And Reid does not want a repeat of that on Wednesday, judging from a virtual press conference he gave the day before.
The coach was asked by reporter Pete Sweeney, ‘How much of the messaging is let’s have fun, but maybe not too much fun?’
Reid replied, ‘That was mentioned a couple of times. It’s great to have fun. But be smart.’
Reid’s advice most likely has his players’ reputations in mind. Plenty of eyes are on them as they celebrate the franchise’s fourth Lombardi trophy. Aside from being professional athletes, they’re also role models to the youth. Allowing fans to see you in a vulnerable state is setting a bad example to the youth.
The player in question had a solid sophomore season as the Kansas City Chiefs’ rotation player. He’s the epitome of the wonderfully weird resurgence of the Chiefs’ defense. The corner did not score an interception in the regular season, but he was extremely effective as a part of the pass rush after sacking opposing QBs twice this season.
Reid will probably have one eye (and his entire mustache) on Watson, and the Kansas City Chiefs will probably do everything they can to meet their beloved coach’s expectations.
