Chiefs star celebrates 32nd birthday ahead of Week 12 matchup vs. Panthers

Chiefs Joe Thuney Kansas City

The Kansas City Chiefs have relied on their offensive line to keep Patrick Mahomes on his feet, and on Monday, one member of the team’s front five celebrated a birthday.

Veteran guard Joe Thuney was the latest player to earn a birthday shoutout from the Chiefs on Twitter after Kansas City’s disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Thuney turned 32 years old, and he has a lot to celebrate as a four-time Super Bowl champion.

The former NC State Wolfpack star entered the league as a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in the 2016 NFL draft and signed with the Chiefs as a free agent in 2021 after Kansas City’s loss in Super Bowl LV.

Expect Thuney to continue making his presence felt in Week 12 when the Chiefs travel down South to face the Carolina Panthers with a chance to earn their tenth win of the regular season and maintain their spot as the AFC’s top team by record.
