Kansas City Chiefs celebrity superfan Henry Winkler has often expressed his love for the team on various platforms and publications. He recently appeared as a guest on the morning sports show “Up and Adams,” hosted by Kay Adams, to jokingly announce that he was among the many new players added to the roster this offseason.
“Gotta say I was gonna break some news that I have finally, after a long negotiation, I have been drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs,” said Winkler with a smile. “I will be on their team this year. It’s amazing. I’m going to suit up, my God; I can’t believe.”

The famed “Happy Days” star notably met Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes last season before a Sunday night victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
He already has a plan for how he’ll help the Chiefs.
“OK, I’m going to stand right next to (Travis) Kelce,” said Winkler. “And then I’m going to stand behind Kelce, and he will protect me for the season, and I will just run with the ball, and he will be like a wrecking machine and knocking over the pins of any other team.”
Winkler continued to break down his strengths as a football player and goals within the Chiefs’ high-powered offense.
“Yeah, it will be very, very difficult to find me on the field,” said Winkler. “But you know, what if I catch one ball from the Master Mahomes? I will be in heaven. Then everything I’ve ever dreamed of will have come true.”
